Your nitrates are low and it's in bad shape but has a mouth and so could still recover. All those Aiptasia will sting the crap out of it and kill it it they are reaching it. They will extend quite a distance at night.

Do you see feeding tentacles out after lights out? You could try spot feeding 2 or 3 times a week with a little mysis or LPS pellets.

As for the aiptasia im still dealing with them and they are abt 10 cm away from the coral. As for tye nitrates i have been aware that they are very low and ive been dosing to keep it higher. I will try to feed it tmw. Btw thanks for the rply!

I have had some success with spot feeding corals in distress with mysis+benereef, and generally moving things to a lower flow part of the tank while they try to recover.
