Favia struggles - any thoughts?

[merkmerk73]

Here’s my dragon soul Favia that has been receding

It’s never looked very fluffy and mostly just looked stony. I moved it from what was probably a too intense lighting area to a more shaded area (120 par or so down to 75 or so)

It still seems to be receding

All of my other corals are doing great (except an acan which did poorly)

My water params are:

Salinity: 1.026
Phosphate: .08
PH: 8.2
Nitrate: .05
Nitrite: 1 (not sure what's happening here, weeks of very very low readings instead of zero, tank is 6 months old)
Ammonia: 0
Alk: 7.6 (slowly raising this with new salt)
Calcium: 410
Magnesium: 1480


(the pic with the clown is the most recent one and you can see that tissue recession)

Any suggestions or ideas? Just leave it there and see if it recovers?

U have something going on it needs to b dipped in something broad u could do an iodine dip but i would say mabey a dip in marine melafix or even the new polyp lab reef primer would both b good options the reef primer is a great dip in my opinion because it is a bacterial dip aswell as parasite so ur covering multiple fronts at once hope this is helpful

You think a dip might help?

I can try but I think it’s probably too far gone
