It's still doing ok, but not fat and fluffy like it use to be. Nothing has changed much with perameters other than my alk used to be in the 6's now 8's.

Had this weird drippy thing on one of the heads. It's just not happy. I moved it from a higher light to a little lower.

Can you list your parameters? What other corals due you have in your Tank? Mine, I’ve had for three years, deflates from time to time. O-H!

Mixed reef. Sps, lps and softies. Everything else is fine even another small candycane

Everything looks great except zero nitrate, i’d bump it up to 10-15. That’s not causing the issue at the moment but can long term. Like I said my deflates periodically for no apparent reason. I’d bump your nitrates up but leave everything else alone and just keep an eye on it. It doesn’t look bad in the picture with flesh running the length of the skeleton.
 
Bump. Here it is at moonlight. It's open after little more during the day.
