Obligatory questions.

What are your parameters? Have they changed much lately? When was your last water change? Are you using Ro or RO/DI water? What lighting are you running?

Salinity 1.024 mag 1300 calcium 410. I moved it to a lower flow area and it was doing fine extended fully and then started to curl up. I have 1 kessil 160 that runs at 40% all day. I'm thinking it could be getting a little to much light

but the two polyps are extended and feed them twice a week

Okay. What about Nitrate and phosphate? Has anything else changed in the last week or so? Any other parameter changes? Are any other corals in the system struggling?

phosphate around .30, ammonia between 0-.25, nitrate at like 1ppm. I have a chalice, lepto, green star polyp, xenia and a discoma all seem well
