Reduced PE, shriveled LPS

[PghReef]

So after close to 6 months I finally transferred my fish over from the old tank. New Tank was set up with a mixture of dry and liverock and is stocked wirh a lot of sps and a few lps. Within days my sps PE is gone, my candycanes look terrible, and my zoas remain closed. On my birdnest and stylos maintain PE and my frogspawn ans Elegance nice and inflated.

Only culprit has to be the Lemonpeel angel. I don't see her destroying corals but seems to float around and nip constantly. I did have some algae around the bases of many sps that ia now gone so idk if they're irritated from the fish eating the algae or if it's from the angel. Should I give it some time to see or ahouls I remove angel asap.

Parameters as follows. Have been pretty stable for months now.
Sg 1.026
Alk 7.5
CA 400
Mag 1400
Nitrate 10
Phos .067

Nipping constantly would seem like the likely culprit of irritation and loss of PE. Also in general coral likes stability over very long periods of time, a move could definitely have lasting effects for at least a month while they settle into new flow patterns and position in the tank.

If you have an isolation box it might be worth isolating the lemonpeel for a few days to see if there are any changes.

The corals were never moved. I set up the tank and slowly added corals wirh the last coral addition being a month and a half ago. I moved the fish over just a week ago after making sure all the corals were 45 days fallow to reduce risk of disease.

Lighting, flow, parameters, have all remained stable with no changes over this time. Within days of adding the fish from my old tank the issues started.
