Rainbow Yuma not looking great

[jordanrb]

My rainbow yuma has been looking deflated and droopy the last few days. Sitting in 110 par at peak. It is my newest coral only 2 weeks old.

All my other corals are happy including half a dozen mushrooms in the same spot.

This is my nicest and most expensive mushroom so I would like to try and save it but cant figure out what the issue might be.

I think parameters like salinity, alkalinity, nitrate, and phosphate might help to get a better idea of your system. Until then the community can only make some blind guesses.

I don't see a coral frag plug (maybe it's just the photo) did you remove the plug? Maybe you accidentally damaged the coral during the process?

It came on a small piece of rubble that I glued.

My salinity is 8.4 steady. Salinity 1.025 steady. Nitates are 35ppm and phosphates are 0.10ppm steady

looks melting bleaching from the top while hiding its mouth the problem with taking high end corals to high levels of par is anything that stresses them will kill them the straw that broke the camel's back

It was in 100+ par at the lfs. I can put it in lower but all my other yumas sit in that range and do perfectly fine

I’ve had hundreds of Yumas through the years a few of them will unavoidably behave weirdly like this and eventually melt even if the water parameter is fine while all other corals do well. Lower light intensity will help but be prepared that some Yuma just can not be saved.

yeah i agree just recently had a pink yuma randomly fade away whereas the king kong next to is happier than ever
