I stupidly didn't measure it right after the change, so I'm not sure. I'm currently using red sea blue bucket but I'm open to changing if need be

I would not take it to the local fish store because then when you bring it back you will need a 76 day fallow as you will have no idea whats in the fish stores water like ick, velvet, flukes?
Why change? Just keep it stable. It’s in a good spot. I run my alk 8-8.5. Dose like 1oz Bionic a day to keep it there. Use a good reef calculator to see what u need

I hope you don't take offense to my question, but did you happen to use a different test kit the second time you measured alk?
Regardless, if it's doing better now than when the all was higher, then I don't think the drop hurt it.
Glad it's perking up. As for the uneven polyp extension, it might be due to the flow.

Super find, congratulations!I felt sick to my stomach when I saw this on my gulf live rock shipment because I figure there's no way I'm going to be able to keep this alive.
Does anyone know what this coral is and whether I have any chance of saving it?

No offense taken, yeah same test. Read 7.7 alk again tonight, magnesium holding at 1200.
It definitely looks better...but still only clusters of polyps opening over the whole thing today, with closed patches. New development since yesterday. Does not appear to be bleaching or anything

Well so alk down to 6.0 big drop in 24 hrs. What can I do to stop this and what's causing it? Calcium went up to 450 but mg holding at 1200
