True, but stability will matter more. Hobby kits can only do so good and the other corals appear ok so I wouldn’t think they’re that out of range of normal.
Absolutely. Stability always over perfect parameters...

Yeah they are a little high I wouldn’t say way to high though lol. They’ve been in these types of parameters since I got them and have been doing great since this. I’m not trying to argue I’m just saying
Sometimes it takes a couple of weeks before corals shows a reaction... not arguing . Hope you will find a cause and that the coral will be happy!

Hello, I have had this euphyilla for almost 6 months and it had been happy and growing since I got it, for the most part. I just went away for 3 days and I had my mom look after my tanks. I come back and notice that a large amount of my euphyillas tissue has turned brown. Could this be bjd? I don’t see any brown jelly and all other corals appear to be healthy. I’m unable to do a water test right now but I will be able to update with that soon. Thanks.

To me it just looks like the stem is maturing and turning into that skeleton as the heads split and entire coral starts to grow taller.

Alk around 8.5DKH
Ammonia is almost 0
Nitrite 0.5ppm
Nitrate 0
pH 8
Your nitrate is too low, that combined with the other high numbers can make lps very upset and eventually can cost you your corals try to keep your nitrates around 2-5 and your po4 around 0,03-0,08
