Troubles with frogspawn

[wildman0516]

Hello,

I am currently having trouble with my frogspawn coral and can’t seem to make it happy anymore. It was phenomenal for the first month or two and had great polyp extension. From there it started to slowly not come out as far until now where it opens up a little bit but not much and has been that way for 2 to 3 months and I have moved it out of the flow and out of the light and both at one point and finally moved it back to its original spot and still isn’t happy i waited 2 to 3 weeks after moving to see if it improved but got nothing. I noticed it seems like it’s splitting into a new head but not sure. All my other coral is doing great. Everything from softy’s, lps, and sps is great. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Water parameters has been extremely stable. I had a little bit of troubles with phosphates but that was adjusted and corrected over a 2 month period.

What are your parameters like? Also if you could send a picture of what the tissue looks like on the skeleton that would be helpful!

sometimes it depends on flow and light is what ive seen you have to get it just right and definetly check parameters

Seen any brown jelly? Test your water and do a water change.

Alkalinity 7.1

Calcium 434

Nitrate high 10.9

Phosphate .44

Ph 7.4

Salinity 1.027 fixed back down to 1.025 slowly since then.

I got some sps 3 weeks ago and they was great and they seem like they are loosing color. I don’t know if it’s an element problem or a light and flow problem. I don’t have a wave maker and am using a fx6 and all my LPS and softy’s have did great except the frog spawn and now the sps such as birds nest, digitata, monti cap and leptoceris

Personally I feel your alk is very low. The phosphate way too high, the ph is kind of low. I see pally’s on the sand stretching up so not every coral is getting enough light. Depending on the size of the tank the canister might not produce enough flow on its own. Corals losing color often due to either low light or high nutrient level, so a couple of things to check out and correct IMO.
