Like most of you I enjoy all corals and thus have a mixed reef. Though I have mostly SPS dominant, I enjoy a lot of LPS and others.

I moved over a year ago, and set up my new office reef tank https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/home-office-reef-build-thread-las-vegas.203098/page-3

Since moving and changing up my reef i have had issues keeping Euphyllias happy and have lost a lot of torches and hammers. I still have 2 torches, several hammers, and others, but none are fat and happy per say. Tonight i noticed on of my large hammers skeleton is turning red and the tentacles are skinny and weak. The Coral has been declining for the last several weeks.

Before you all ask, I test my water weekly, and my levels are on par. I have a low nutrient system for my SPS and do weekly water changes of 10% 30 gallons. I just dont understand why everything else would thrive, but my euphyllias would not, all help appreciated.
