Euphilia help - dying

[JayA]

This past few weeks all my euphyllia seems less happy, and this week I lost a small two head hammer. One head disappeared overnight and the other just a couple days later. Today my wall hammer is receded and I am afraid it is on its way out. I see no brown jelly, and my parameters posted below are totally stable - like one year and no changes. I have had all these hammers for at least a few months, and some longer. They don't grow, but otherwise are usually totally happy and open. Any thoughts?
SG=1.027 (a few months ago ran 1.025)
nitrate= 50
phosphate=0.5
KH/Alk=9.3
pH=8.15
Mg=1230
Ca=400

Nitrate and phosphate are high and mag is a little low

I know all three. But since they are stable and the euphyllia WERE happy... do you think those are factoring in? Just seems odd that despite no change in numbers, they are now all failing. LMK what you think.

My guess is slowly regressed over time.

OK I am going to work on Mag first, as I cannot seem to get nitrates and phosphates lower. Unless, maybe, I change water more frequently than once weekly.

Mine were high, 30% changes twice a week until levels were where I wanted them.

Sorry. Wrong thread.

You can feed less also and watch your coral foods. A lot of them really boost phosphate number. If you bring nitrates down phosphate will follow suit to.
