Thanks, but I'm sure they are just polyps. My fancy blue Orphek flashlight makes them glow like crazy at night.I would pop that off and give it a dip. Some of the spots on it look suspicious.

Yea none of it looks like any pest, it looks like usual starvation spotting.Thanks, but I'm sure they are just polyps. My fancy blue Orphek flashlight makes them glow like crazy at night.
This is what three of them does on my tank... having 450 gallons helps.Wow, the temp impact while the MH was on:
I really can't imagine running two of these things!
The nutrient deficiency I think occurred before followed by a high nutrient spike which can lead to what we see here. Need to get nutrients lower and stable again. It’s going to take a long time for the frag to recover.Nutrient deficient despite the NO3 and PO4 numbers? I do occasionally feed Reef Roids and/or BRS Reef Chili. I could get more Red Sea Reef Energy I suppose.
Flow is very good, there's a Tunze 6055 about 8 inches away, blowing just over the top of it.

So for a very late update, I finally went with a hunch and moved it to the sand bed. It took a while but after a week or two the color has started to return. I should probably move one other stick that hasn't been too happy up so close to the LEDs. Trouble is finding a good alternative spot!
I haven't measured in weeks to be honest. But I'm betting NO3 is probably around 8-12, that seems to be where things settle when I don't do any NOPOX dosing. I have been changing filter socks more often though.How have your nutrients been doing? Stable?
Good questionHow is your lower-light approach working?
