Hi all,
So tank is bit over a year old, introduced a bta about 4 month mark( yea i know, I know). Absolutely thrived in the beginning but took a turn maybe 3 months ago and went to this.
Have come to terms with the fact its dying, but at what point do I just remove and... forget? Thought it would have died by now but keeps hanging on and moves around occasionally.
Have been feeding to try revive, popbloom lights( yes probably not strong enough but tank gets sun also), params have been all over due to dosing failure, but stable and currently...
Salinity-1.026
Temp-26c
Amm/nitrite-0
Ph-8
Nitrate-10 nyos
Phos-0.1 redsea
Alk-9.2 redsea
Cal-450 redsea
Mag-1400 redsea
Any input much appreciated.

Assuming it's a tank raised nem, 4 months is fine (I put my first nem in 1 month after and it thrived). How are your other corals doing? Did you acclimate it properly when you put it in? They also like low-medium flow and high more bluish spectrum (AB+ type) lighting.
 
Can't recall but wouldn't have been a long drip acclimate as I do now. Lights mostly blue. Other corals mostly fine. Lost one torch but other one fine. Acan dying off atm but alveo, goni, zoas, monti and duncan all going nuts🤷‍♂️
 
Dosing disaster happened after it went down hill but added for transparency. Thanks I will try figure out howto move the post 😅
