My tank has been up and running since the end of August, have been having a problem with my frammer coral recently. My salinity was a little low (1.022) and have been slowly bringing it up since Friday (now registering 1.024) but this morning I saw this lump on my frammer that seems to be getting bigger? I used a baster to see if I could gently blow it off but it seems to be attached. I only have this and a GSP - which also has been closed for a week (when I realized the salinity issue) and also seems to be struggling right now. Nothing else has changed in the last couple of weeks. Got a phosphate and calcium tester on the way to start checking those too.

Tank params:

Salinity: 1.024
PH: 8.0
Nitrate: 5

Cant really tell what the issue is in the pic. A white light pic might be helpful. Are you sure it's not a new head budding?

If it's a bubble over the mouth area, its probably splitting.

Not sure if it's a new head. Tried to include a top down image, plus a better white light one. I really need a good camera so I can do this better. The lump developed a brown spot on it since I first posted as well.
