The title says it all, My Xenia looks absolutely terrible, its been look like a flat pancake for about 6 months now. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, it's the only coral that looks like it's dying, the rest of my corals are flourishing. I haven't ran carbon lately and I only run a small skimmer along with my tank. I feed my corals with "Reef Roids" and "Red Sea Coral" weekly. Any ideas?

I don't think trace elements really affect them since it's a soft coral but I'll include them as well.

Magnesium: 1300
Calcium: 450
Alkalinity: 11

Lighting: Red Sea ReefLed 90

Flow: Medium

You may have a Xenia eating nudibranch hiding in your tank. They are very hard to see and can of laugh so well they can look like polyps

I'm not sure if it's nudibranch cause it still opens a little bit at night and I don't see any missing tissues from xenia it's just shrunken.
