Ca a bit low, but no a huge deal, just work to get it up. Nothing in that system should be using ca that fast if water changes are being done regularly. Like many lps, these guys will close in when annoyed and when light cycle changes. So if the watchman there got on it or too close, the lights came on or went off, they will close a bit. Try feeding a bit of brine or mysis. These guys benefit from feeding.

Keep an eye out for polyps never extending, brown jelly like around it. Flow looks to be okay as I see the leather and coco worms doing great.
