O nitrates means it's starving to death. Hence mouth open trying to find food that isn't there.

I feed pretty heavily(fish), maybe its 1-2 nitrates at most. I use a Salifert test, hard to tell. What do you feed?

LPS like nutrients in the water. Nitrates 10 to 20 and phosphate. .1. Corals probably been struggling for awhile they decline from the inside out.
