Assure calcium level not below 400, moderate flow , medium light, feed mysis shrimp and also salinity and temp not elevated despite other two euphyllias looking happy

Kh 9.5-10
Ca 565 (I made some mistakes and this has been be slowly coming back down)
Mg 1425
NO4 10-19
PO4 .1-.13
Salinity 1.025

62gal Tank is 8month old. Had green hair algae, and cyano. No known algae not pest issues. Tank is lagoon style, hard to deal with flow and lighting correctly. Had to add more equipment and lower the output. See below.

Have few inverts two urchins size of nickel, few turbo snails and hermits.

Tomi tang, two clowns, yellow wrasse, blue war face goby, small yellow tang, banggai cardinal.

Light 40-110 par. 3 ai illumination set at 16watt. Mostly blue.

Flow. Decent flow. 1x Orbit 2, 3x nero3 1x Nero 5. All set at very low output. 700-900 gph.


This purple hammer has been doing this time to time for past 3-4weeks. But now seems to be more deflated more often. Even when it’s fully inflated polyps aren’t really rigid. More droopy.
