Yuma help please is this dead?

[Ronk1109]

A few days ago it was doing great. Fully extended and open. Tons of bubbles. Last night I noticed it closed up and looks hard and shriveled. Is it dead or dying? It’s in low light and very low flow. I feed reef roofs once a week. Everything else is thriving. No spikes in anything besides ph dropping from 8 to 7.8.

You are going to be asked for temp, salinity, etc. Also, without a better picture under white lights it will be next to impossible for someone to give you good answer. Regardless, good luck.

Bump for a little assistance as I'm far from an expert

If water chemistry looks fine, I’d look to see if something is annoying it.

My yuma does this time to time. I was worried too. In my case it was the “peppermint shrimp” [lysmata bogessi]. They we’re picking at its base where some gha was growing.

When I got my first Duncan I overfed it. I stopped when I realized that the shrimp figured out they could annoy the Duncan and have it barf up food like a vending machine.

I have to feed the fake peppermints more to compensate since they’ve become ravenous beasts.

The other day I shooed one again and he backed right into a carpet that caught him. I should be ashamed to admit how that made me feel.

What is wrong? It looks a little bleached but should recover and color up. Give it time. Its open. Thats a good sign. Lol.
Is it spitting its guts out sometimes?
D

Ditto...

Is he getting direct light?

lower to moderate light, slightly shaded, probably no more than 75 to 100 par, is what mine prefer... and just keep water parameters really stable...

If you're tinkering with the water parameters maybe do that less while hes unhappy.

mine is definitely a coral that lets me know something is different...

its basically a slower growing, cooler looking, more sensitive mushroom if u ask me..

You can see my where a small one of mine is in relation to other corals in this pic... this one was all but dead until i moved it low in the tank and shaded.
