This is my first LPS coral and I am hoping I am being overly sensitive. It appears some of the heads on the bottom the frogspawn are deflated and darker in color. My water parameters are:

salt - 35
Ammonia - 0.03
Nitrate - 10 to 20
pH - 8.0
Calcium - 500
dKH - 9.5
Magnesium - 1350

Best video I could get of the frogspawn:


Any thought on why this is happening would be greatly appreciated!
 
How long has it been in your system?
If new give it some time.
Lower flow can't hurt but some of mine get more flow than that and it's already on the bottom of your system.

It has been in the new system for a day. I did move it do a spot that has less flow, near a St. Thomas Mushroom that was added at the same time and seems to be doing well.

I did lower the lighting a little bit, but the light hits everything pretty evenly.
 
If only been in a day I certainly wouldn’t worry. If your parameters are good and everything else not causing you alarm I would bet you’ll find them back out on show in no time. 👍
