A little variation can be notmal. Euphyllia are pretty resilient. If you have parameters back in line and stable and appropriate lighting and flow, it should be fine.

What are your parameters, and what did alk and Ca drop to?

Those rocks look really white. Is the tank new?
 
Tank is 2-3 months old , alk dropped to 6.5 and calcium 360 now back to normal the guy said at LFS and everything looks better opening more also
 
I'm glad it's looking better. 6.5 dKH and 360 ppm Ca should be fine. It's on the low end, but not that far from seawater. What are the values at now?
