Numbers look good. Nitrates slightly low. Goni just do this sometimes for a few days

Thanks, only other thing I noticed was some baby aptasia just starting at the bottom, wonder if it’s bothering the Goni

Certainly possible

Any recent changes in lighting, flow, feeding regimend, etc? Aptasia by it is certainly a possibility and could be irritating it. Also a snail or fish brushing against it. Sometimes mine shrivel up only to come back a day or two later. I would keep an eye on it for the next few days.

I cleaned my gyres and all seems to be happy now thank you

My Goni done something similar. I direct feed and fed Reef Chili last week, started sulking a few days later. Fed it Reef Roids yesterday and it's fully extended today. Don't know if that had anything to do with it but they are like toddler sometimes.

Interesting as I had fed reef chili as well before it started sulking, but it’s been getting that for months so maybe it’s not a fan now
