Fish are dying help!

[larouche10]

I had a mushroom coral that died in my tank about three days ago and since I have lost two fish, a kole tang and a blennie. Now my Unicorn tank is sick. I have a seventy five w/ live rock and all tests come up perfect. I just don't know what to do and why this is happening. I have had the tank for 1 and half years and never had so much trouble. Is the death of the coral the cause? What can I do for the Unicorn tang who has a white milky substance on him?? Marine velvet possibly? Please anyones help would be appreciated..... I want to save him!

Well, as for the mushroom having anything to do with it,I dought it.I have had 2 fall off and no problems.How far in between were the deaths and were there any other signs such as not eating heavy breathing scratching darting or anything?At this point I would say internal parasites but please don't assume anything now!!A white milky substance where?

What are the water parameters and what livestock is in the tank?

As I stated in the orginal message all water perameters are ok. The other livestock I have are a damsel, wrasse, two Perc. clowns, brittle star, C.C. Starfish, small eel,cucumber and a cardinal.(snails &hermits too.) They all seem to be doing well. I have a feeling I left the mushroom coral in too long. He may have been dead longer and I just didn't know it. There was no darting and there was some labored breathing with the previous two fish to die. Today the Unicorn looks a little better and he fed a little. He is having trouble seeing and his eyes look swollen, but not cloudy.
