Receding Scoly Frag and Acan

[TheGrimReeferTx]

Hello Reefing Family, I need some help with my receding scoly frag and acan frag I bought a couple of weeks ago. Reef paramaters are all normal, see below.

Any tips or tricks? I would like to save them, but dont know what is causing the issue.

Nitrates - 5ppm
Phos - Undetectable, but has to exist in some capacity
Salt - 34.5
Ph - 8.0
Alk - 9.6 (Working to get it down to 9)
Calc - 450
Mag - 1450
Scoly Par - 80-100
Acan Par - 100-120

Try moving the second one out of the sand bed up onto the rocks. It may help (may not).

id try to target feed them reef roids or a similar powdered coral food. Every day or every other day with caution re water quality and nutrients. I use Julian’s thing to target the feeds.

First thing lower salinity to 30ppm. Most LFS salinity are lower

Definitely wouldn’t feed reef roids at this stage, use AB+ for feeding.
