85 is the spike? What does it start off with? A big swing can tick LPS off to no end. A big cause of brown jelly infections too.

How is the current in your tank?

ahh heat+lps= white slime and dead tissue. I would guess it has gotten up to 87-88 maybe or higher?

A quick fix is get a small fan or two to blow over the surface water and in sump. Long term fix, invest in a chiller.

What are your parameters? Are you testing them? It may be the heat spike but may be others as well. The corals are dying for a reason and you have the answers in the water. What you are describing needs immediate attention so find out quick.

How long have you had those corals?
