Spot feed reef roids see if those babies don’t swell up … otherwise it must be something else

no, its an sps tank. this was a high end acan someone traded me
You're dissolved nutrients are on the low end of what LPS prefer. I would also venture to guess that the flow may be a little bit too high in there for it to be comfortable. Direct feeding with refloids and oyster feast may help it.

I feed a cocktail of reef frenzy and frozen shrimps mixed with reef roids once or twice a week.... feed them, they will grow very fast.
