Why would my wellso that was happy and full suddenly wither up. It appears to be losing its vivid color and the skeleton is totally exposed. The tank is relatively new, its been up with coral in it for 4 months , wellso has been in it for 3 months and been very happy. Recently started dosing with sachem 1,2 .Could that possibly have any thing to do with its sad appearance. Nitrate is at 5, KH is 8, ..phosphate 0. Any thoughts are appreciated

Is it starving?
I hope not, I have been feeding the corals aquaforest coral food every few days. I just tried for the first time LRS Reef Frenzy. All my other corals reacted to the food.. wellso didnt budge.

The coral does not look dead.

These corals do not need to be under the most intense lighting, I would move it to an area of less direct lighting. They also appreciate direct feedings of pellets or meaty sea foods.

An image with less blue light and more white would be of assist.
