Looks like it’s not doing well

[Lou Raffael]

Hi everyone,
Not sure what this softie is. It’s been doing great for three months since I got it. Opening up nicely and seems that it made another head. Noticed today that it didn’t look good like it was having a tough time opening. Physically looks like it’s being overpowered by a wave pump but it’s between two rocks where not much flow is. I’ve been traveling a bit for work so this could be a several day thing? Maybe something is picking at it?

I know it’s hard to tell me what is wrong from a picture. Any suggestions or even what is it? Never got the name of it.

Alk - 7.45
Calcium - 520
Nitrates - low. Maybe 2
Salt - 33
Temp - 78.1
PH - 8.17

Dosing aqua forest mag, Alk and calc

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

To me it looks like a duncan coral which is a LPS . Do you have another picture of when it was doing better ?

Looks to be a Duncan coral. LPS.

Could be too much light. Any water pramameter swings you know of?

That looks like a Duncan coral to me. I could be wrong though.

If it is a Duncan, moderate light and flow has always good for me. I would also spot feed of it doesn't catch food on its own when you feed the tank.

Agree Duncan with too much light

I’ve got it pretty low in the tank under a radion 15 at 50%. Should I hide it more under a rock?

Thank you all for the help

I'd shade it some if possible or sand bed. Your welcome!
