$150 for everything. These are healthy corals and I hate to just toss them, but may have to cause I can't catch the fish with them in there. Any interest, let me know, cause I plan on catching fish Saturday.
From my experience, the heads don't just fall of the skeleton. They typically have tissue extending down the skeleton maybe an inch or two. The skeleton usually isnt super strong, so the frag pretty easy.
Going FOWLR, so time to sell the corals. I'm located in Blackwood, NJ 08012. I'm not selling any LR, so any pieces fixed to the LR will be staying. I'll start with a FTS to give an idea of size, tank is typical 4' long 90 Gallon:
Maze Coral (bottom middle in FTS) around 5" diameter. -...
Need to remove my acan frag & orange fungia plate coral. Flame angel has taken a liking to them & hate to see them keep getting picked on.
Orange fungia is typical orange short tentical plate and about 3". Had for a few years now. Acan is red with purple and 4 full heads & a tiny head...
Lugols solution, iodine additive I believe. Here's a link for an example, there are other brands that sell it, too.

Years ago I was growing LPS like crazy, then one day they started to melt like yours. The flesh started shrinking up towards the heads. I lost almost all of them & tried adding 1 here and there, but only to have the same results. If I recall correctly, I posted a photo & somebody told me to...
If you've got algae growing in the tank, it could be using the nitrates so they don't show on the test kit. Also, I have no experience with your brand test kit, but some aren't the best for showing low levels of nitrates, so you may have some.
You should really worry about your current fish and getting the tank cycled before adding anything else. Since your display is now escentially a hospital tank you really shouldn't be adding to it, otherwise you need to start your treatment cycle over with the new fish so they get the full time.
Also, have some other corals. I can frag some pink birdsnest, green hydnophora and purple stylophora. Frag prices would be between $5-$15. Just let me know what you're looking for. I have the lower piece of orange/red cap available too - $30. See photos below:
Fragged my large Frogspawn yesterday, have several frags available. Bright green with purple tips. Have them in a 20 gallon tank. There are 2 larger ones (6+ heads), 4 medium ones (3-4 heads) & 1 small one (1 head). Larger are middle left and left, medium are middle right (3) & 1 on left...
