Nope.
Those corals looked like the 1st pic for about a year. No tank changes. Over the past 2 or 3 weeks, they declined.

I'm changing my lights next week though.
I'm going with 3 ocean revive t247's

any water parameters change recently?

I had a bout with flukes. I dosed the dt with melafix. this was about 3 weeks ago. I got it out with carbon and wet skimming.

The corals were declining before the bout with flukes though.

No water paramater changes.

This looks like a chemistry issue. Melafix could have compounded the problem if the corals were already stressed. How often do you test, what kits do you use? How often do you do water changes? Do you dose?

I test about every week.
I was dosing seachem fusion 1 and 2 but I'm about to start Triton method.

Prior to water change from the melafix, I had not done a water change in about 5 months.

I may do a large water change just before putting triton online.
