Water params are
phosphates-near zero
Nitrates-around 10 (fed heavy because of low nitrates and phosphates
Nitrite-0
Ammonia-0
Ph-8.2
Calcium-520
Alkalinity-9-10

I have two stylos

One was so busy it wasn't funny and now struggling for polyp extension other one seems to be bleaching out so I moved it lower in tank.

55 gallon 2 hydra 32s
10" above water
Running Saxby where my blue peaks around 70ish and I think white in 30s

Plenty of other corals doing fine

Help?

SPS can suffer at higher alkalinity and low phosphates. Have you considered dosing phosphates at least until you get your rocks and sand phosphate bound?
 
I haven't dosed phosphates, I fed heavy yesterday and I had moved the smaller one down and it's looking better this morning even with the lights off. What do you use to dose phosphates?

Thank you for the advice, I was wandering if I brought my alkalinity up to high.
 
I used to use NeoPhos but for the same price (or less) as one bottle, I was able to order Loudwolf Trisodium Phosphate and mix my own.
