So I ripped chunk off and let’s see how this goes. Either it does nothing or it wakes it up and makes it grow.

Did you confirm par with a par meter or are you just guessing it?

I agree with what others have said and likely too low par if water parameters are correct. I had the same thing happen to me. good color to my sps for about a year but they just didn't grow much and my ICP tests were always on point. took a par reading and everything was sitting at around 200-230 par. Bumped my par up to near 400 and everything woke up. I feel like I wasted a years time when a simple par meter could have solved my issue easy.

All of these came from a tank of average par of 250. It’s from the same person. I actually put em at higher par than him for certain ones. It’s just 2 sps that are dormant. I won’t change everything just to make 2 corals happy when all others are happy.
