Question about grogonians

[ReefKeeper666]

I have 2 grogonians in my tank. The soft coral photosynthetic type. A month old they were doing well placed one on each side of the tank. About halfway up the tank. But the last 2-3 days one has been completely closed. The other only the polyups on the top half are open. Any ideas what might have caused the change?

Ph 8.2
Salinity 1.024
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10
Temp 78.4

No idea, but it’s Gorgonians lol

From my understanding, they can go through phases and shed like many other softies. I have yet to experience this with my photosythetic gorgs but they're fairly new

So best to leave them alone and see what happens?

If it were my tank & if I had no parameter fluctuations - I'd probably not worry unless I saw actual signs of deterioration.
