Do you have a picture with whites on and maybe a bigger one? It doesn't look like they're getting stung. How long has the tank been set up and what else is in the tank?

The tank is about 1 1/2 years old. I have a variety of coral. From frogspawn, zoas, to acros and sps. My sps are thriving but my frogspawn seems to be ticked off too. it’s usually 6-8 inches fully open but now it’s about 3 and it’s been like this for a month

what are your nitrates

last i tested they were 1.0 ppm

 

[Dr Jimmy]

I'm wondering if your tank is too clean. Do you feed them?

i feel the coral about once a month with reef roids

A couple of those heads look like they might have had some damage (in the whites picture). Older as there's algae growing on the skeleton.

Any changes to lighting or anything?

current schedule. previous schedule was a 2hr ramp time but a single % of the colors throughout the day. New schedule has fluctuating times
