Not sure, these are the peak settings on my ai prime. It’s on a 15 gal AIO that’s 15in x 15in

That video looks like its taken in the night time? Can you take a day time pic? What do you have for water movement in the tank? Can you show a full tank pic? I can't tell from your lighting, but how long is the peak lighting period?

Honestly i cant tell if its bjd. If its bjd it turns to brown mush and may have to be treated; at best it looks like beginning of polyp bailout as flesh peeling from skeleton

Unfortunately I’ve had bj in the past and like you said it looks different. I moved it into a lower flow and lower light area and praying it can make a recovery.

The first picture shows its mesenterial filaments used when battling anther coral or feeding. Take the coral out and smell it and if it smells like death it’s bjd. Treat with Cipro asap.
