Leptastrea puffing up

[RescueAReef90]

First post on here, hoping to get some help on IDing if this is something serious or a coral doing weird things. I have had this leptastrea for a few months now and it does this weird thing where it puffs up like this. Any idea what it could be? Overall seems healthy and has polyp extension but I am trying to determine if it is too much light, a disease, a leptastrea thing? No clue, any help is appreciated.

Tank has multiple healthy acans, chalices, softies, psammocora, favias and all doing well.

Hi

What are your Mg levels?


Regards,

Just did a test and got 1490 using hanna checker. This is high, likely due to all for reef dosing, thanks!

What made you point out mg?

Thanks again.

I don't think is that high. 1450 it's ok if you have 35 put of salt and sps corals.
I'm having the exact same issue with my softies and I was thinking that Mg could be he issue but because I have low lvls of it.

Yeah your right, my levels are normal now and I don't see a difference. Are you dosing anything? I have a 25g I dose 4ml of all for reef daily. I also have a hydnophora thats very puffy almost too puffy it doesnt seem normal to me.

It's really close to that chalice, maybe it's trying to defend itself.

I've moved it now, I will update if things normalize but now I am dealing with a phosphate spike yay
