So all my other corals are doing great but this one isn’t and I have no idea why please help I can’t seem to get why I’m starting to see Skelton
My levels are kept very steady with a Neptune trident at 460 calc 9.0 Alk and 1,375 mag and a refuge that keeps phosphate at .04 on average I use Red Sea AB+ and give reed roids and other mixes what could be killing this coral could it be to much light?

He’s also very puffed in the morning and then you can’t see his Skelton but after 12 you can
 
full tank shot may be helpful

Might be light, is this a new spot for him?
 
Is that a trachy or other open brain? I have better luck with them on the sand rather than mounted on rock. Not that this is the issue.

I am thinking a flow issue.Likely too much direct flow that’s irritating the flesh?
 
Maybe try a bit lower flow area?

Beautiful colors, do you feed directly or broadcast? Might drop a mysis in.
 
I might recommend something a little easier to digest like reef roids or benereef. You want all it's energy going towards healing/growing.

I have those coral food pellets I might do that because I can directly drop those in
