Those are good stable numbers. Is it the only coral experiencing the issues?

Yes. The rest are doing fine.

Personally I would turn up the light, I have a 55 watt light on a 15 gallon tank set at 80% for 10 hours a day peak, its a softie tank mushrooms zoa's and leathers (including a toadstool) and a couple lps. You have low intensity and a short peak IMO. How is the flow? My 15g softie tank has 2 powerheads.

I have 2 powerheads Jecod CWP, cheap but strong.
Do you have any recommendations for the intensity of the lights? Blue, whites, purples.
These settings are installed based on a recommendation through youtube..

According to chat gpt the coral seems to be shedding/ waxing or tissue necrosis.
The polyps are retracted since today

What other corals are in the tank? Any others showing similar issues? How about any euphyllia that are sick? I recently had a BJD outbreak in my 20g that really affected my toadstool. Lots of gunk/euphyllia remanants in the water and once I took out the dead hammers, added carbon, and spent everyday blowing off the toadstool, it recovered and is back to where it was before.

Everything else seems to be doing fine, except for the toadstool and my xenid seems to be stressed (picture was from a few days ago xenid is doing better now

I'm not sure how much flow it is getting, but they can take a decent amount of flow, and I'd be tempted if it were me to move it somewhere to get more flow and monitor it.

It seems to be a lot better, the polyps have opened up
