Tissue loss, why?

[maceto]

Hello everyone,

A month ago, I brought this coral to the tank, and this last weekend I noted is losing tissue.

Which condition on the tank is making this happen? Water? Light?

Water parameters

dHK: 8.8
PH: 8.2
Phosphates: 0.2
Nitrates: 0.2

Light Kessil A80, 10 horas cycle 5 hours full intensity.

Thank you for any advice or tip.

How close is it to the light? Also, what kind of flow does it usually have?

May be light burn. Moderate light and water flow is requirements for happiness of this guy

CA 450
mag 1300
alk 8-9
salinity 1.025
ph 8.1-8.3
temp 77-79
ammonia .03

Is 8" from the light and has flow from both sides.

Maybe is too much light?

If moderate light is the requirement that could be the problem, is too close to the light.

Thank you for your tips.

Is that snail bashing into these arms as it moves around the tank?
Phosphorus looks a tad high, presume that could be a typo.

Can I save it? If I change the position or put the light higher, the coral starts growing new tissue? Or already is it a loss?

The snail was not touching the coral was behind.

Phos 0.2

Yes- very forgiving coral

I really don't think its too much light considering its an a80 and an sps.

So the water parameters?

So the water parameters?

Maybe too little nitrate? You can always try some amino acids.

which will be the ideal nitrate range?

I do amino RedSea every day. Too much?

No that is good.

Phosphates look high at .2

What is your opinion about these goals?
