this acan was my first coral and I’ve had it for about 4 months but about a week ago I noticed when the lights would go off and it would close up for the night around the edges it was starting to show some skeleton but during the day it looks puffy and happy what could it be?? All of my levels have only gotten better sense I got it I use to have low Alk and Mag phosphate has always been 0.0 nitrate has moved around a little but I’ve been able to keep it between 8-10 for the past couple weeks

Alk-8.4dkh
pH-8.6
Calcium-500
Mag-1320
Nitrate-8.5
Phosphate-0.0
Salinity-.025

Same, all mine shrunk. Thinking low nitrates but my phosphates are .28 and nitrates are .7-2 range
