This has been going on now for 2-3 months. My frogspawn hasn’t extended itself.

Here are my parameters
Salt-1.026
Alk- 8.94
Cal-422
Tmp-78
No-4.6
Po-0.04

Mag reading?
 
Always best to get some advice from the euphyllia whisperer.

This is one of the easier care euphyllia and often this happens when the coral becomes stressed. Often its as simple as low calcium for skeletal health if your readings are accurate. Others would be:
Elevated or low nitrate (10-15 is a good range)
Feeding wrong foods- Mysis shrimp is ideal
While this coral is not picky with placement, they do best at lower half of tank under moderate light and water flow
Too much flow- polyps should wave in the current and vigorously or bent over skeleton
Low salinity
Insufficient lighting which will cause the coral to wither away and starve to death

Frogspawn require stable tank conditions, and are intolerant to major swings in water quality, and is sensitive to almost any level of copper in the water.

I took a month vacation and my calcium went as high as 500 and dkh dropped and this happened in May. 3 mos pass and my parameters have been steady. I just finished an iodine dip and praying it will come to life.

Did the Iodine dip help?
