How old is this tank? What is the PAR and flow where this coral is? What is your phosphate?
I don't know what "300 kh" means. (alk?)
What did it look like in the store when you purchased it?

No idea about par, but med-high light. 300 kh carbonite hardness is like a rly low dkh...like 6ish...it just wasn't drooping like that. I'm probably just over reacting. Other corals look fine

Ok, I see you posted the same thing yesterday. Get yourself some good test kits for Nitrate, Calcium, Magnesium and Phosphate.
I see the light that you're using. I have no idea what "medium-high" on that generic black box light will produce. Best bet is to rent/borrow a PAR meter and find out what you're really getting out of that light.

Wow. They were about different things snd my light has been tested before and it's a fine budget light. So the par is 145
