I'm fairly new to the forum so apologies if I posted in the wrong location or my format is wrong.
I've had this coral for many years now and it's always thrived. This hole formed abruptly one day a few days ago and now it seems like another one is starting. It's tissue is also shrunk. It'll still eat but very slowly. When the hole first formed it seemed like sand was inside of it and I gently blew it out with a turkey baster without touching the coral.
My water chemistry
Nitrates ~20 this is actually lower than normal for my tank though I know it's still high
Nitrite/ammonia 0
Alk 9.5
Calcium 500
pH 8.2
Temp 79-81
I haven't added any new creatures or live rock to the tank in years so if it is a pest I don't know why it'd come all of a sudden. I've been doing weekly 20% water changes to try to bring my nitrates down. I replaced all my RO filters recently but TDS 0 and everything else in the tank is very happy.
I'll appreciate any help. I've had this coral for so many years and don't want to lose it.
