What type of lighting? Led? What make.
A few things come to mind- is a fish or something picking at it?
what kind of water movement? And how much?
how long have they been in your tank?
were are they placed?
I know there are more questions here but it will help narrow down the issue. Also photos are very helpful.

I have the maxspec led
There on the bottom sandbed center of tank been in tank 5 months now or so was doing great till this week same flow ibhabe never changed only thing I changed was the % this month gone up like 2% on each channel I run else mode on my power head

I wonder if my little emrald crab is doing this ? Water seems good to me going to try little more spot feeding 2 _3 times a week see if it helps brain

You might have a fish pecking at it. Open brains and bubbles are very sustainable to nips. Brains will recover bubbles not so much.
Do you have a flame or other type of angels?

Does It show a feeding response? Most of the time they will at night - best time to feed

I have no angels just wrasses and bangai

If you have no pickers then flow or lighting is most likely the problem, nitrates are really low as well, do you spot feed?

 

[monizb]

I do once a week or twice

 

[monizb]

How can I get nitrates up a touch I feed my fish like twice a day morning night

 

[Sewerat]

Don't think you want nitrates up? If anything lower yet. What test kit are you using for the nitrates?

I agree chances are it has to do with flow or lighting if everything else checks out. That being said look up brown jelly disease. I hope that is not what it is,I have experienced it.

You have a copperband? That would be the cause if so.

 

[monizb]

Cooper band is gone notice him picking at my acans so sold him and I don't think brown jelly I'll post pic later
