Chemical wars?


So, I bought a rose anomie last Sunday. Starting on Tuesday my montipora started sloughing in little eraser sized spots (about 5 of them) around the edge in new growth. Tested all parameters…looked good. By last night they had grown to about a third of the coral and joined together. Tested again, still looks good, so I called the LFS that I got the rose from, they said it was most likely the rose causing the issue. Has any body else seen this? They are at least two feet apart in 90g, two 250MH 14K, cal=460, dKH=10-11, ammonia nitrite and nitrate=0. I have had the monti for at least 3 months and it has been happy growing fast. I would rather have the monti than the rose. How long do I wait to see if things bet better?

If they are two feet away.......and the anemone didnt die and disentegrate in order to cause damage to the monti......im not sure i buy the fact that the anemone had anything to do with it.

I would give it a reef dip. I use seachem but kent makes a good one too. could be a parasite.

Definatly the rose,they need stabile tanks which usually doesn't happen till after a year at least. I would think the monti should be fine.

The monti has shown rapid Growth in the last month.... Are the spots(white in color) some form of.... pooping.
The only things that have changed are, the addition of the rose and I moved a power head on the other side if the tank to help remove a dead spot in the corner.
