I’ve only had this frag about a week, it’s a JF Raja Rampage Chalice I got in the Live Sale from @Zoanthids a few weeks ago.

Here is what it looked like a week ago:

And here is it tonight:

Is it receding or is there anything wrong with it? It’s a very good looking color and looks healthy other than this, should I be doing. Anything differently?

Parameters as of last night:
Salinity: 35 ppt
Temp: 77.4 F
Nitrates: 12.00ppm
Phosphates: 0.01ppm
Alk: 9.5dKH
Ca: 440ppm
Mg: 1520ppm
 
cannot tell from pic,lower light ,not shaded ,medium flow is best
 
Your magnesium is a bit high, I would lower it to 1400. Also your nitrates and phosphates seem very unbalanced, try bumping the phosphates up.
