I’m being needy !!
 
Man galaxea is one of the hardiest stony corals out there. I say this because I was purposely trying to kill a colony of mine that once started to sting my entire tank. It was relentlessly hard to kill. Something must be way out of whack. I hope your salinity was a typo right? Also your phosphates are way high or is that a typo also?
 
Bumb, Still closed up and hasn’t improved
Any other suggestions
 
You can try spot feeding. what type flow is it in? I keep mine in higher flow and light
 
Its in high flow with medium light . I’ve tried feeding it mysis but non of the polyps grab on .
