So I came home from work, did my afternoon walk around of the tank. What in world happened to my chalice?! That was a full disk of chalice. The white part looks like a rib cage of a dead fish. I was in a rush and couldn’t test water (late for the doctors). The rest of the chalice looks fine and it definitely didn’t look like that last night.
 
That is the corals skeleton, its receding back because it's not happy for some reason. Parameters and lighting specs would help. How long have you had it?

I didn’t have time to check parameter. I will as soon as I get home from the doctors. It’s been in my tak for 2-3 months now and I haven’t touched the light.

Light is t5/led hybrid.
 
Okay so here are the Parameters. Think the Alk is probably the issue?

Salinity 1.026
Temp 79.2
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10 (probably a bit high)
Calcium 430
Alk 6.5 to 7

I didn’t have time for mag or phos but I don’t really have any concern with either of those. Plus I had to dart again.

Light wise, I have the t5 hyprid

2x Blue Plus
1x Purple Plus
1x antinic

T5 is on 2-8pm

AI prime HD with the following setting
