Hey all!
So recently my gold hammer experienced polyp bailout and died off. I had moved it a couple inches just so it could get a little more light and flow, but didn’t like it. I said “lesson learned, don’t move corals unless necessary .” Well I didn’t learn my lesson unfortunately because I messed with my pumps after getting some gorgonians to give them more flow. Consequently, my euphyllias got a little more flow than they like. I tried to dial in the flow as best as I could, but now two have been upset for a few days. I did an iodine dip just in case of early BJD. They are coming back slowly, but don’t look great. I also dialed down my light a bit, just to give them a tad less stress. Now to my question: is it just a waiting game? Provide good stability in flow and params?

Lower third of tank, moderate light and water flow and assure calcium not below 380
Bailout occurs mainly when too much water flow or high phosphate

Now that you mention it my phosphate likes to creep up if it goes unchecked. I’ll check that out too! Calcium is 420
