My soft corals haven’t been doing so well, very strange considering my LPS are doing great. They close all the time, then they might open for a day or two and then close again, they are constantly shedding their skin. Today I noticed one of my Softies closed up and looking like the picture...My Parameters are good, I do weekly 10% water changes, my fish are 100% reef safe and healthy, why.

I had that same problem when I added my xenia. You most likely have low to no available nutrients in your water, which simply means you take care of your tank. Try feeding a bit more, things should get better. My xenia basically dissolved completely, and it regrew like a phoenix and went from 0 to like 8 heads in a few months. From nothing.
Raise nutrients and you should be good.

Thank you for the advice, maybe I can start feeding reef roids? I have them available.
