Nitrate is a little low. How about your phosphate? Alk?

I don’t have a test kit for those what test kit should I get

 

[Jekyl]

Salifert. I had issues with my hammers when my alk was out of whack. I'd test before doing anything tho

How would you go about increasing your nitrate ? Just less water changes ? I’ve already cut them down to one every month or so now because they got so low

Looks like a goner. Weird cause the other euphyllia around it look fine. Did you check for pests?

You can see decent amount algae on the back of you glass, so I wouldn't say lack of nutrients are the issue. Your other surrounding corals look ok, so once again, don't think nutrients are the issue. Wall variety euphyllia are typically more difficult to keep, and don't respond well to being cut or fragged (lots of shop sell fragged ones). I would encourage you to become more familiar with general water chemistry before buying more (they are expensive, and will probably continue to rise in price), invest in good test kits (salifert, red sea, hanna), and watch reputable videos online (brs, marine depot, tidal gardens, coral euphoria,...).

Alk is 7.7 I’m raising it now and phosphates are 0.03 ppm

You can see 2 huge worms in the picture btw. look at the base.

I see them now. I thought that was epoxy or glue holding the coral in place. But they look like it could be nudibranchs. And not the good kind.

That’s reef glue

OK, that was my first thought.

Just tossed the coral , I put a pose head close by to see if it would blow off some of the algae and the polyps fell right off , luckily everything els is happy
