Had him in for about 6 weeks or so, has been doing fine. Made it through the Texas winter week when tank temps got down to 61 and came out okay. Now it looks like he is melting before my eyes. It’s the one at the base, others appear to be fine (for now).

He was fine yesterday. Didn’t do a water change recently. Tank parameters as follows:
Calcium 370
KH 10.4
Phosphate 0.5
Nitrate 4.48
Mag: ~1275
PH 8.1
Thanks in advance, I’m about to go out of town until Friday so my husband will be here solo.
 
I wouldn’t worry about it. It may be closed because of its location something walked over it it’s only one polyp
Thank you, I hope I’m just overreacting! Worried me because I was on my way out of town. Hoping it’s not a big deal. Maybe my photo-bombing clown fish was bothering it.
 
Looks to be a Healthy specimen. One the one thats partially close, blow gently on it with a turkey baster and see if it responds and opens up overnight

I’m out of town but if it’s still closed I will suggest my husband give that a try. Thank you!
