Last night my frogspawn went from plump and happy to almost like a deflated balloon. All other corals in my tank are doing great, even the other frogspawn. I dont have a good before picture, but it was looking similar to the orange frogspawn picture ive provided.

Params

Alk- 10.5
Mag-1300
Calc- 460
Nitrate 8.3
Phos .12

I have been dealing with cyano, and now an ugly stage after treating with chemiclean and doing a water change. Other than that the tank is pretty solid. Any thoughts on what is going on with the frogspawn?

Thanks

I'm still a relative newbie, and certainly early on I would worry about how this guy looks.

Now - I suspect he bounces back in a day, two tops. Clearly if he continues on the decline that would be bad, but it could be that something just annoyed it. Mine has done this before and bounces back pretty quickly.... Usually within the same day.
 
It looks upset, probably due the chemiclean. I would do a few more water changes over the next three days and run carbon.
