Red Sea Fan / Gorgonia help

[Mermaidia]

Thinking we should have not taken this trickier one on so early (December 2018 start up)... but any advice on reviving our lovely red sea fan / gorgonia?

The first week or so looked healthy & covered with white polyps but then a few days needed cleaning alot of algae off & now the tips are stripped to white & no more polyps to be seen :-(

Have been pippette feeding it reef roids & phytoplankton. Water values all fine (can check again values tomorrow & add here). Live copropods & artemesia feeding once a week at least.

Is the positioning in the tank ok? The fan is placed behind it to get max flow.

Anything else we can do to give it a boost of health?

Beautiful tank BTW. Very nice. Did you acclimate the "fan" by turning down the lights a bit for a few days? Consider feeding just after the lights do down and just before the light come on in the morning.

Here's an interesting video of Dana Riddle's speech. Some of which may help you for your "fan" condition.
