Yeah, your numbers are pretty wonky. The SG is low (should be 1.026 for reef), but then "big 3" are super high. If NO3 and PO4 are very low or indetectable then the high alk could be irritating the Acro(s) - that combo is known to cause RTN and STN.

Which test kits are you using?

is the powerhead hitting it directly with flow? I'd try moving the powerhead first.

Number seems to be high....but don't think that's the culprit. Check your no3 and po4 numbers and we will see if we can figure it out.

I will bring the S/G up through the next water changes and check my Po4. I will also move the powerhead a bit. It's above the coral shooting up, so not right on it.

I am using Red Sea test kits and Hannah Phos tester

you should be more worried about having other sps near it. I had my green slimer slimed so badly on other colonies that it smothered it to death overnight.

just and suggestion.

can it be a chamical war....you have Cabbage coral, Toadstool coral, Colt Coral
do you run carbon?

Don't do that until Ca and alk drops or you will increase them even more.
