I received this alveopora on November 29. It inflated nicely by the second day. Over the past week to 10 days some of the polys have stopped fully extending. I've had this problem in the past with alves and it seems to be a early indicator of declining health leading to death.
I may be over-reacting. Given past experience, I decided to ask now if anyone sees anything unusual or has suggestions. The reaction I see is similar to what happens when I feed the coral. Usually it stays like this for several hours. Now it does not fully extend and hasn't for 7 - 10 days.
My parameters:
salinity: 1.026
pH: 8.25
Calc: 410
Alk: 8.5
Temp:79 degrees F
Phosphate: .06
Nitrate: 5
Water flow: moderate to low
Light: on bottom of tank, appx 100 - 150 par
Food: weekly- reef-roids, mysis , Brightwell CoralAmino
Thanks for your help
