What kind of lights do you have? Are any corals near it that could be stinging it? Any fish that could be nipping it?

There's really never a time for them to die.
A friend of mine gave me a frog that wouldn't open in his tank. As I do all my corals, I dipped this one in Flatworm Exit. MInd you, you couldn't SEE any flatworms on the coral. Well, he was covered! He was big and beautiful the next day! Just a suggestion.


An hour later...

The next day...

Wow,that's an awesome change in appearance! Did you see the flatworms or did you just suspect that they were there?

OMG i would have had a heart attack if i saw that many FW fall off.
The FS opened up nicely after words.

well the two parts that were closed are completly gone, just a skeleton is left. the three other heads are doing fine . i ran some carbon because of the die off.
the LFS told me that it was probably a lack of trace elements in the water. iam doing a water change tonight.
all perms. are fine.

Neither. I Flatworm Exit dip all of my LPS's before adding them to my display.
Goober Hunter, I assume they sold you a bottle of said elements.
But if you look on the side (or back) of your salt bucket/bag, you will see that if they missed any elements, you'd be hard pressed to call them on it.
There are way to many healthy frogspawn in way to many other tanks to assume that it was a lack of "trace elements".

Well that's good to hear.
did you look for the flatworms? Oh and (sorry if you already mentioned) how long did you have it and how did you acclimate?

acclimated for 4 hours about year and half ago.
LOL... We can probably rule out osmosis shock due to improper acclimation then...
