It just started about two days ago. One head is the issue, it’s not opening fully all other heads are fine. I tried turning down flow thinking this was a tissue damage issue ,but still will not open. Please leave me some info. If you think you know what’s going on .
Water parameters are fine also thank you so much in advance.

Probably about to poop. Look for brown stringy thing from the mouth?
I ended up dip the coral more heads starting receding fast .
After the dip and seeing small black bugs moving around in dip formula
It took a turn for the best and recovered almost immediately

I just dont have all the ingredients . But I was able to get Lugol and cipro and dipped anyway for 10 mins. They're still upset but no brown jelly so far.
I hope that does the trick! After going through BJD about 2 years ago, I got all the ingredients and put them in a shoebox marked KFC dip to have on hand. Ingredients take a while to track down and BJD kills fast.
