The phosphates are high. How much light is it getting where it is? Do you have an idea on PAR in that area?

Thank you! Im using Hydra 32 (2 of them) my tank is 20 inches deep. I have a preset that I downloaded from WWC website. All the other corals are good

Probably a combination of high phosphates and lack of feeding. In the later picture it looks to be receding on the edge. Do you target feed it?

Yes I feed it with mysis and krill. Also dosing copepods and plankton frequently.
