Platygyra frag receding!

[gotmesalty77]

Anyone know how I can try to save my platy frag? I just got home from work about to test parameters. Shade and low flow is my current plan. Input?

They need some nitrates and phosphates. You could also dose aminos and carbohydrates to speed healing.

Mine did the same thing when I let nutrients get too low.

Any pics? Try an iodine dip. Was it in close parameters to another coral? Typically yes, lower in the tank and low to moderate indirect flow and occasional feedings

Ph 8.28
No3 is 20ppm, which is what wwc runs and I got it from there.
Working on the rest of tests

OK I'll begin reef energy today

With 20 ppm of nitrates I'd be easy on dosing aminos. Sometimes frags just dont make it. If your other corals are doing fine I would not risk the tank by making changes.

Everything else is thriving. My tank is pretty stable. I only keep lps so my water is a bit dirtier but always the nearly the same. The frag was large and very healthy looking. I'm so bummed. I hope it pulls through.
