Ive had for 3 months, all other corals doing good other corals i have zoa colony, grew from one, a duncan and gsp, its on the bottom with lowish flow and my parameters are fine, i keep 78 F with 1.25 salinity and all levels are normal

 

[fishguy242]

from that i would move to a higher flow area,not too much,moderate ,random if possible ,leave alone for a few days unless worsens .

What is ‘normal’? Need specific parameters, and are they stable. What kind of lighting are you using? Torches like medium flow (tentacles should be in constant, gentle motion). Need more specific information to help.

Are we positive that's a torch and not a cristata?

You need to be testing Alkalinity, Calcium, Magnesium, and Phosphate (in addition to Nitrate and PH, ammonia and nitrite don’t need to be tested in an established aquarium). Stony corals especially need stable alkalinity. Also, API tests are notoriously inaccurate, Salifert is a fairly inexpensive and much more accurate. It’s hard to really say what the issue is when we’re missing pieces of the puzzle. Until you can get test kits, just leave the coral where it is (moving it is going to cause stress), and keep up on water changes.
