Alveopora Coral Sulking or Gone?

[losaeyang]

Hi reefers,
Just a beginner here and set my tank a few months ago. I went on a trip and came back to tank with extremely high phosphate (0.50 ppm). I got the level down to under 0.10 and all the other corals are normal now except for the alveopora. It hasn't extended its polyp for a couple weeks. Is it gone? Thanks all.

How fast did you drop your phosphate?

Its not dead yet, but its on its way out if you can't fix whatever is bothering it.

It was over a week when I was gone. Had someone look over the tank and the auto feeder was somehow set to a higher feed cadence.

Those are big changes in a short period of time. Try to keep your tank stable and hopefully it will pull through. What is your nitrate?

Calcium: 430
Mag: 1400
Nitrate: 30
Phosphate: 0.08
