This is tissue recession and often due to stress from:This was a vid when I first got it and that was 2 months ago. Since then I upgraded the lighting to ai prime hd 16. I also got a wave maker. I was using an old power head filter for flow before. I don’t have a log of parameters. I jumped into the hobby before learning all the ins and outs due to lack of knowledge passed down from lfs. I learned a lot from this form and redit. Got a lot of tests and upgrades due to you guys helping. I cycled the tank for a month before adding the gsp and then added the torch two weeks later. Parameters were worse when I got the pho and cal test. Nitrate was also really high. This is the lowest it has been and must be even lower now after using rodi. I fear that my tap was really bad and messing my coral up.View attachment 3125980
Inadequate light and /or flow.
Low calcium
Location
These euphyllia need moderate to medium flow and medium light. Your light schedule may be insufficient. Additionally skeletal health is important and they need calcium of at least 400 - 450. Too much flow and the tissue can tear off the skeleton. too little light and flow and tissue will recede. Too much light and they expel their energy source known as zooxanthllae. Feeding is also important- I feed mine mysis shrimp.
Try this light schedule:
Cool white 15
royal - 70
violet 50
UV 80
red 4
green 3
blue 75
