I have noticed my lobo sitting open with its feeders out all the time. I feed it every other to every three days. It has been doing great but today noticed it was sitting open and not actively taking food. I am in the process of bringing down my phosphates so I’m not sure if it’s due to this? I have been doing a controlled decline using gfo and am finally down to a lower number. Two days ago it was .25 which is still high but I don’t want to crash the tank. Does anyone see anything I am not seeing. It seems to be a bit receded. What causes this? Is it that the coral is getting rid of waste from food? Any help would be great!
