Help with my pipe Morgan coral

[HankstankXXL750 Verified Sponsor]

I have noticed that my pipe organ coral doesn’t have any polyps showing. Absently notice this the last two nights when feeding and thought it was just timing as I was feeding late and the lights had started to dim. It has been doing really well and grown quite a bit. Only changes to tank is the addition of 2 blue green chromis, a canary blenny, and a red head Solon fairy wrasse. Non should cause a problem that I’m aware of. I upped my dose of homemade N0-Pox to 20 ml in a 139 gallon tank figuring 100 gallons of water. Think I was at 16 last week and nitrates still increasing.
Parameters today
Nitrate 29.8
Phosphate .64 down from over .9 last week
Salinity 1.026
Temp 77.8
Alk 6.19 per Trident
Calcium 664
Mag 1317.
Any help
Appreciated. Do t know if it is dead or just retracted.
Close up pic today. Distance pic July 30 but it was beautiful just 2-3 days ago.

It looks good but as you stated, should be hairy
Assure your flow isn’t too heavy and moderate light
They do best under moderate light and salinity of 1.025 at 78 degrees and also :
Ca 400-440
Alk around 8-10
Phosphate .04-.06
Nitrate below 15

Thanks. It has been in that position since July 27th when I moved the tank for my new 3XL900. Been doing great. My Cespitularia seems to be growing out of control. Would it be possible that the pipe organ is getting stung?

Stinging is possible
You may have sediment on it- take a turkey baster and give it gentle bursts. You may be surprised what dust comes off it
