SPS smoothing out?

[Empire]

Hey everyone - trying to figure out what’s wrong with my bill Murray. It’s smoothing out but still has color. I’ve never seen anything like this before. All of my other pieces have 0 issues. This is the only piece that looks weird!

alk- 8.2
Calc - 430
Mag - 1278

phos-.05
Nitrate - 10/15

lighting -2xr30 g4 pro, 1 xr15 g4 pro, 4x t5’s that are on 4 hours a day. The bill Murray is probably sitting in 400 par.

is the "smooth" part a different color?

hi,looks like putting all energy into growing base.

i have a bunch of frags (various sps)... one that was green is now dark burgundy/brown. it had a weird light film on it for a few days... looks smoother. it doesnt look healthy, but it doesnt look like its dying either. hard to explain. but this one reminds me of it a little.

yeah i can't figure out why this would happen to this one piece. i moved it away from a hot spot to off to the side. let's see what happens.
