This usually doesn’t end well. It was a very healthy 2 polyp when I got it. It popped one baby then stalled and hasn’t looked very happy ever since. It’s not predator related.

It’s currently on a rack with a bunch of very happy corals as you can see below. Just look for the sad Frag, that’s my SC.

Currently near the bottom getting medium to medium high flow. What can I do so save these little gems in regards to flow or lighting?

Agreed. Move it to lower light for a couple of days and see if it gets better. If it doesn't improve in a couple of days then move it back up. You can also try to dip it in Coral Revive. Zoas usually love that stuff. I'd just try different things for a couple of days and see if they respond well to that.

Low light Low flow in my opinion. Good luck.

It was getting fairly hard flow at first so I moved it to a little less that's when it popped a baby. I'll move it to even slower flow and place it on the sand bed for a few days, thank you.
