Polyp Bailout any ideas?

[fish_bucket]

I am experiencing polyp bailout. Not sure the cause.
Temp 24
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
PH 8.0
KH 7.0
Nitrate 5
Phosphate 0
Calcium 400

a hammer and a torch That looked healthy have both left their skeleton.

On a side note they are extended and seem to be enjoying their new location.

The only thing I can think of, is it has recently started getting cold here at night. In summer my tank was getting very hot, one way I countered this was to turn down my heater, but perhaps my heater was never even turning on in summer due to a high ambient room temperature and now overnight the tank may be swinging between 25 - to 23 or lower.

so let me get this straight your tank temp is 24 degrees?

I’m guessing 24 C which would be 75 F

i figured that but who in their right mind uses celsius? unless he's not from the states i can see that never put that into consideration lol...just wanted to be sure cause i would have to say if your tank ws 24 degrees which is dang near impossible unless your running a chiller i would have said that was the culprit!

could be a number of things in my opinion i would have some nitrates in your water column 5ppm -10ppm no more than 20 though....whats your magnesium level at?and also your KH is not terrible but i would try to keep it a tiny bit hight between 8-11dkh ....everyones tank is different but those numbers work great for me how is the water flow? sometimes they will do that if they are getting too much or too little but those are a few thing i would think about but I'm not expert by far

all of the world uses Celsius except the states who in their right mind would use it lol. I am australian.

It happened to me a lot, no clue!

me too, and I have a ton of LPS that didn't bail out and are thriving (Same water, lighting, flow. Once bails out, the rest don't)
I have never figured out why they bail out for me once in a while. Torches have done it more than any other LPS.

You need to get your phosphates up! On the bright side I have a hammer that had polyp bail out a year or 2 ago and its still doing just fine. Hasn't grown any new heads but it's a bit bigger

I think there are two basic reasons for polyp bailout: stress and reproduction. Have your water parameters been stable for awhile?
Every now and then I notice a "new" coral growing some distance from what I assume is its parent; seems to happen with Euphyllia and some SPS more than other genera. In my case, I probably tore some off being careless, knocked it around while cleaning tank, etc., but sounds like your situation is different. Is your skeleton completely bare?

i don't know where you live doesn't say where you do....guess what i am from the states so celsius is not what i go by simple mis understanding i thought about that after about you not living in the u.s would hint why you used celsius no big deal brother

To be fair a lot if people on here use farenheit I ensure any time I use temp on here I put it on farenheit although living in the states most are naturally in farenheit.

I was having the same problem recently lost a bunch of euphillia my last euphilla was a Duncan colony that started to not extend I talked to a buddy who said to check for voltage in the tank and indeed I had 50 + volts ac in the sump two cobalt heaters were putting out 20v a peice however No current was measurable so I added a ground probe 2 weeks ago and the Duncan and all my acans have been fully extended and happy sense
just ancedotal but it seems to help so far still no word back from cobalt either to see if they will honor there 3 year warranty
Also read about ground probes if your gonna add one as there seems to be 2 trains of thought on wether there good or not

Correct, completely bare. I am actually ******* heart broken to of my favourite corals, & like they looked healthy. They polyp defatched from the skeleton still looks healthy.
