Hope I’m in right forum. Not sure if it’s soft or lps.

I started with a small one of these and it grew very large and had several offsprings which I pulled off and put in different parts of tank/s.
Now these two are looking poorly. Other corals are ok.
Only changes are that my alkalinity (usually kept between 8 & 9 dkh) has been dropping and is now about 6.6 on Hannah check. Calcium is high at 500+. Phos 0.02 and nitrate 1. Magnesium 1320.
Any ideas of what’s happening, dying?

It looks like Hydnophora exea. Any changes to lighting intensity or changes to flow?
No but I did move the rock they were on but that was a couple of months ago

I think I was told it was a rhodactis. It grew very large quickly and produced others.
 
Temperature is always 26. Flow around the tank is pretty good I have two Maspect gyre XF330.
 
Do you have a quarantine tank you can put it into. Maybe spot feed it in there. Or if you have a band saw frag it and save what you can.
 
I don’t have a quarantine tank. I could try fragging it though. There seems to be several new growths there.
Thanks for your advice ‘Thatone08’
