Hello.
About two weeks ago, I woke up to find my cyphastria looking like this.
It has been like this since, with no change.
I’ve tried blowing around it with a pipette, removed vermatids bottom right , directly fed it etc.
All a bit confusing as it was encrusting nicely just prior (top left and much more out of sight bottom right) Any advice?

I bottomed out NO3 and PO4 for a week, but with heavy feeding I’m back to
NO3 15ppm
PPO4 0.03ppm
With no change for a week.

Salinity stable at 34ppm
DKH at 8.0-8.2
pH 8.1 -8.3

Flow is adjacent to, but not directly in path of, a Tunze 3+ maxing out at 80% and on a 4 min ramp up / down loop.

Par has not changed at about 150.

It has looked exactly like this for two weeks, minus the mucus strands.
Thanks.
