A picture would be nice as well.

Healthy Euphyllia stay healthy as they split. No real "sulking" as they split
 
So parameters are alk 8.5, magnesium 1450 , calcium 450, phos 0.04 and nitrate 10 ppm
 
They often sulk when expelling waste. I routinely see a couple heads that look dreadful, and an hour later, boom, looking normal again.

If they are sulking for several hours / days, that is a different issue.
