Help with pale RR Jawdropper

[dbq5anlxj]

I have this tiny frag of rr Jawdropper and it's a slow grower for me. It's really pale. The tip and base dose have some color but the mid part is really pale. It's sitting 350 par under three Straton led. I was running zeovit before but when I had higher nutrients this piece still not looking great. I swapped out to a new tank two months ago and after that it start to encrusting and I saw some green color coming back on it the green color slowly faded again. This is the only piece that dose not doing so well in my tank. Parameter is stable . Here is few pictures with a flash ligh

This is the side facing light (you can see the skin is really thin and white in the mid part but the tip and bottom dose have some color in it. If the light level is too high isnt the tip should be white as well?)

This the shaded side the base is pastel green with some pink in it but the color also kind pale

Stopped zeovit 3 weeks ago
Temp 77.8
Alk 7
Cal 420
Mag 1250
No3 was 2 now I bumped it to 5
Po4 was 0 now 0.02

What might be the problem here? Thanks

The obvious is low nitrate and phosphates with 350 par I would bring them up to 10 and .08-.12 and keep them above that always

following, my jawdropper is not growing much too! I wonder do they prefer lower light? Mines up at 400 par. Although it definitely lost some color since I got it

but even then I have tad better color than yours. My nitrate is 7 and phos is 0.03-0.05

here’s a night pic

Drop it down in the middle of the tank. Mine did the same thing so i moved it down more and the color is back. Usually if it get pale its getting fried

Those smooth skinned corals seem to do alot better in the 250 par range
