There are similar threads but nothing quite matching. None of the pics look similar and my water parameters are a little more stable than listed in those threads.
I have a ‘darth maul’ porites that looks healthy with a bubble. A ‘bounce’ porites is what our looks like. Pic below. I say it looks healthy bc of growth and extreme polyp extension.
I’ve been told my lights are a bit much (1,000 par on the surface of a 14” deep sps tank). I’ve got tons of flow. Parameters- 0.2 ppm, 5-7 ppm, 425-475, 1300, 11.0. Temp- 78* Nothing else, including my acros, look distressed IMG_1912.jpeg IMG_1917.jpeg IMG_1916.png
 
Hi, welcome to the reef
Any differences today ?
 
Hi, welcome to the reef
Any differences today ?
Thank you! and... I'm not sure.In my opinion it looks worse. I thought it looked happy, healthy, livin' the life. But then I got scared scared and moved it. I feel that too much light and current would kill it faster than "putting it aside" till I got to the bottom of this.
Please give these a health ranking, if you don't mind.
Full set up, then porite as new arrival, high flow, now.

Thanks. It’s doing just fine now in that moderate spot.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

    Votes: 16 32.7%
  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

    Votes: 6 12.2%
  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 7 14.3%
  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 11 22.4%
  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 9 18.4%
  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

    Votes: 8 16.3%
  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

    Votes: 2 4.1%
  • I haven’t really considered this before

    Votes: 4 8.2%
