Last night they seemed to come out alittle more during lights out

What type of flow?
They need good indirect flow and take well to coral foods.

With medium light. Similar to acropora needs with chemistry stability.
Ime anyway

How’s water. Also how long have you had it. I had one that lasted close to a year. I have heard other same thing, but there are long term owners too.

Hopefull it just needed a rest

I’ve had it for 4 months, everything else in my tank is good. Only thing that changed is that I’ve been feeding frozen with medication in it to help treat internal infection in clown

What meds are you dosing? I have dosed metro with focus with no effect on corals. But i also feed with a syringe to limit what corals eat. Assuming internal parasites or the like, What day are you on with meds?

Perhaps to be sure its not a water column biological issue dosing a bacteria for a week.

API general cure with focus, day 2 or 3.

I do feed a regular ammount of frozen with it mixed in

Prazi in the general cure might be the culprit? Honestly that’s guess work not experience though. If corals are being effected by the meds in food i would treat the fish for the rest of the 11-12 days of treatment outside the dt. Perhaps @DSC reef has more thoughts on this.

Update, past few days it only comes out at night and mainly retracts during day. Still not sure why, temporarily stopped meds as I don’t a qt (I know I know, I should have one)

I noticed enough of a reaction in my goni when i was using the general cure/focus that I stopped using it. I've had mine for close to two years now and do not want to lose it.
