Hi,
Welcome to Reef 2 Reef

It isn’t unusual for corals to retract at night. Is it staying open during the daytime or not as much as it used to?

One possibility is the lack of phosphates. Most LPS, including frogspawn, prefer some nutrients in the water. It may be starving.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

I haven’t really considered this before

Something else (see my comments in the thread)
