This all don’t look so bad. Nitrate and phosphates boarder low but still fine. What test kits do you use? Have you tested par for that coral? How long have you had this coral ? And do you have other corals that are either ok or not ok ?

Evening,

I think Ford has dialed in on the concern here. I would say light and then flow is the concerns. I do not think you are getting enough.

I would try to place it near the top to maximize the light exposure. The also like med to moderate flow. The white tips show growth, but avoid the green algae building up. Mine grow well under moderate light an flow
