Does anyone have any idea what could cause my Pom Pom Xenia to close up like this? Only thing that has changed is that my phos and nitrates have dropped a little, from 15 to 10 and .5 to .25 respectively

Low nitrates and iron in water
They require moderate light and water flow along with SOME nitrates and iron plus strontium
 
So up the nitrate and they should bounce back? They’re getting about 100 par
 
I find they don’t like low salinity it’s the only thing I find that really bothers them

High Kh also seems to irritate them
 
I find them finicky. They seem to like certain trace elements and hate high temps. Poor shippers too. Took me a long time to grow them and they still do poorly in my DT. They like my frag tank though.
 
You guys are having trouble with…Xenia?? o_O
 
Salinity is 1.026 and my alk sits at 168-170 consistently.
