Do my frogspawn look ok

They do shrivel up a bit at night/dark. Mine do best in salinity of 1.025-1.026 with moderate light and water flow.
I have them off bottom of tank to lower third where they seem to do best

I have a huge piece of Frogspawn in my tank that started from a frag from about the size yours are now (you can see it in my profile pic haha). I had to actually relocate it a little bit because it was taking over my other corals. They will shrink up when they do not like the flow thats what mostly bothers mine. When I moved it, it shrunk up for about 2-3 days before looking normal. I know you said you have an idea on what is bothering it but I have to ask how long you have had them. Usually when a parameter is off it will make a couple of corals look sick not just one.

Following bc my frog spawn looks similar to the one on the right of the pic which I thought was normal. Now I'm a bit concerned.. I was concerned about not having enough flow where its placed. Do they prefer to be in a high flow area?

What are your water readings?
Salinity?
Water flow rate (low/med/high)
Lighting- How bright and how long lights are on
feeding schedule and what are you feeding?

They seem to prefer a medium pulsing flow more than a strong constant flow.
