Too much flow for gorgonian or just shedding?

[kbnh]

This gorgonian was flourishing and fine until Wednesday, the extra flow was put in last Saturday morning but the polyps were out and full, Wednesday I did a 25 gal water change as I hadn’t done one for a while because I’ve been trying to bring up nutrients, it’s a 120 gal system, I also changed a clear braided vinyl hose to a black silicone hose which I just saw thread stating that the hose might leak tin into the water?(uncomfirmed) I also have read the gorgonians shed sometimes, any help is appreciated!

Interesting, I'll check up on gorgs shedding, I have 3 of them and never saw them shed, but there are so many species of gorgs so who knows..

To me it looks like a tiny bit too much flow, but if you say the polyps are out then I would trust the polyps.

Way too much flow. Those gorgs need a very gentle flow. When you get the flow correct, the polyps will open .

I adjusted the location of the gyre to avoid direct flow onto the gorgonian, actually made the flow in my tank much better too!

Mine love white light and fast water.
Happy being tossed around.
