Trachyphyllia help

[EJH6465]

Hi, looking for some help with my Trachyphyllia. Have it for about three months now, but I had to move it because my Jawfish kept throwing the sand on top of it. Now a webbing is forming around the coral. Please refer to the before and after moving pics. Looking for some suggestions on what to do. Thanks.

Welcome to R2R!! Sorry your having issues with your trachy. They can sometimes be difficult to keep and do best in a well established, stable reef. How old is your tank? Do you know your parameters?

Thank you for the response.
I upside to 65 gallon six months ago when my older tank sprung a leak.

My parameters are as followed:
1.025 salinity
5 Nitrates
7.8 Kh
1400 Mg
430 Ca
No ammonia or nitrites

I will be doing a water change tomorrow.

Water changes probably won't hurt, do you know your phosphate numbers? I'm unable to see the "webbing" your referring to in first post, can you get a clearer shot of it?

unfortunately I do not. I need to get a new test kit for that. I tried taking a better picture, which I’m attaching.

Does it put feeders out? If so, target feed the heck out of it. Mine loves LPS pellets.

My next recommendation as mentioned above would be to feed it. Only when feeders are out, directly target feed small amounts food.
