My Fire red Yuma that was looking healthy has suddenly been closed up for a few days. Is it possible the algae is bothering it? I tested nitrates and they were 0.2 ppm, my hunch is that the newly introduced peppermint shrimp were harrassing it. (Its a baby so its not even as wide as the plug when opened up.)

I’d see if you can get the algae off of there. .2 ppm is pretty low for nitrate, it could be starving.

Mushrooms usually open back up pretty quickly after being harassed.

How are the other corals doing? Any recent changes in lights or flow?

The other's seem to be doing fine, The Leather, Montipora, and GSP are all doing great. I've tried adjusting the light a couple times, but it didn't seem to help much, and flow has been the same
 
As an update, its probably got an infection, and isn't going to make it, and it is starting to melt.
