The tank is 32 gallons.
Parameters are

Ph: 8.1
Temp: 77.1 F
S.g: 1024
phos: .18
Nitrate: 11
Alk: 8.6
Cal: 420
mag: 1280

The issue is with a single colony that has been in the tank for about 7 months. The picture below is what it normally looks like. (Blue with orange skirts, above the blasto.)

It has been like this for the last 4 days. As you can see, most of the polyps are closed up and some appear to be turning brown. And help or advice is appreciated.

Seems to me that it’s not just that, the coral in front of it is retracted too.
