Please help

I have a 55 gallon tank with 70#LR. It has been up and running for almost a year. We have a number of corals, a cleaning crew and 7 fish. nitrates and nitrites are zero. change 10 gallons at least once a month. Everything has been healthy and growing. 3 days ago, our firefish started looking skinny. 2 days ago the yellow tang started looking skinny. now they are virtualy emaciated. they eat fine just like they have been but they are litterally wasting away before our eyes. everything else looks and acts normal. they dont have ich, spots or anything else odd looking other than extreme weight loss. it has happened in a matter of 3 days. any ideas what it may be and how to treat it? I dont think they will last through the week.
