I have a few corals that arent doing well. They are hanging on but barely it seems. First is a green gonniporia. It did great for the first few months until one day the polyps just stopped extending, and over a dew months started dying off. The pic is it at its fullest extension today.

The other Im not sure what it is but it used to be green with little polyps and a flesh that covered the skeleton and i believe it is some sort of encrusting sps. Did great for about a month then slowly started bleaching. I thought it was completely dead until one day i saw the green returning under blue led. The pics are under blue light to show the living tissue and the other pic is in full spectrum under t5

Ive been dipping them in the seachem coral dip weekley. Is there anything else I can do to help them? Less light? More light? Move them to my QT? Cut off dead spots?

Latest parameters
Temp 78
PH 8.0
Nitrates 0
Phosphates .3
Alk 10
Cal 520
Mg 2700

I know the last 2 readings are high, but my demand is pretty low in my tank and the cal test is api and the mg is red sea. Both are not known for their accuracy
