A few weeks ao I realized my ricordia was looking bad. I gave it a few weeks and no change. What's going on. I dose Cal and Alk and run Carbon.
Please help
 
It doesn't look that bad to me, only a little small. It has decent polyp extension.

Is it shrinking and/or losing color? If so, I might try lower light.
 
Ricordia, as a soft coral, doesn’t have the same needs as the stoneys so CA, and Alk is not material to them.
They do like non direct light and some level of nutrients in the column.
What do your nitrate and phosphate levels look like as well as do you maintain iodide and do you feed them.

Doesn’t look “bad” to me, maybe shrunk in size?
