So I’ve moved it from about 80 par and was losing flesh up 2 now what I think is 200 now and have got will take 300-full shade. I just don’t want to lose this gem and I have 8 new chalices I just got in and are healing and inflating so I know there happy on light where it was. Is there anything needed besides low po4 for em. I run 8.7 8.5 alk 9 sometimes when sps need it and the 2 thing I can see is my po4. I’ve been running phosguard and losing it and is now and .1 on my non ULR test. Was .5 so was prolly worse and had hair. Now it’s clean and I’m amazed and only water change for the metal swaps and stir the sand with a baster just softer enough for a small cloud and suck it up. But what can I do for this beautiful chalice. I’ll show it’s life and this LFS take me 2-3 weeks of adjusting then 2 weeks 2 gain its original color and the then some. So it’s killing me on this guy. I have a nano that’s .19 on po4 and is my qT but not BTA tank cause it’s AIO. But use a power head wrapped in growing filtering chato!! And is powitioned so it’s not Ina sucking up place with flow just keeps getting pushed but can always so unplug at night. So here’s my photos from my phone. The photos are in progression then pulled it and over 2 days moved it up. Was told it’s a higher par liker or hater. So I guess mines a liker. And it’s been fed but not as much as I’d like. Over 3 weeks 2 times. Then full shots and my jacked QT turned BTA

Your pics don’t look like you have a low nutrient system. I have two chalices under a rock structure with barely any light in them and they are thriving. Your piece may have some sort of infection. Did you dip at all?

Stating based off of your question. Since you have all that stuff besides coral growing in your tank, that could be what’s affecting your coral. Do you run carbon? Are you using chemicals to control algae, nutrient levels, etc? IMO, when you leave stuff alone, it works out better. PO4 control measures usually strip the water if too much is used or not done properly. You can see some tissue loss that way. Good luck.

I use phosguard so that is a good answer. It’s the only 1. But been 4 days where jtnis and has grown back the mushroom hit so it must like that. And feed it. And it likes 2 eat. It’s been a good 6 months on it but maybe it doesn’t like it if wanted higher par and food. Had it like a month

That might be your problem. Slow your typing down too. It’s hard to read some of your posts. Sorry I couldn’t give you more than one correct answer.
