Chalice: there is something wrong

[Blue Ring Octopus]

So my tank used to grow chalices really well until they do not. I purchased this chalice about 2 weeks ago and it was a full plug and now you can see it is almost all gone, yeah the picture sucks but you get the jest of it. What would cause this, no other hard corals only softies. All hard corals goes this way now. Thanks in advance.

Can’t see any pictures.. chalices are LPs not sps also so you might get more help over there in that forum.. they typically like high mag and lower lighting. Where is yours?

it doesn't look good, the pally's beside it don't look good either. Can you share some details on your tank? Tank age, parameters, type of lighting and flow, etc...

My tank is a IM 25 Lagoon Ext I usually have two AI Prime over it but I am working on one, all the corals in the tank are generic Chicago Sunburst anemones , the thing that looks like a Pala is aptisa. I do not run a skimmer just a sock and a HOB filter with little stones and filter floss. There is a out break of bubble algae but is almost gone now, I tried doing a algae fugy I do have a led grow light that I see other people using, but all the algae I purchased died, there were over 5 different types. I guess I could upgrade to my Kessil 160 grow light.
The flow is real slow, I upgraded to a DC pump that moves a lot more water than the Eheim 1250 did. My Jabao SOW 4 is pretty strong in the tank and my anemones did not like it, so I put in a real slow ac circulation pump.
The tank is easily over 5 years old.
