![]() Yea man, you had the star fish the blue colony then this. Id take a step back and try and figure out whats going on
Get a full parameters measured and get some water for a decent water change like 20% and go from there. Have you changed anything? started dosing anything? stopped doing something? Try and think what changed

![]() While I am in agreement there may be a water issue, I would also recommend moving the piece to another location to see if it makes a difference. Mine (same colour) has always opened up in every location, however it opened up more in some spots than others.

![]() No I do not have a phosphate kit. I do believe I have high phosphate because I have green hair algae everywhere. I have the API phosphate remover bag running passive on my sump with a carbon bag. I guess I should go buy a salifert phosphate tester. My params r alk 7, cal 310, mag 1100 ish. I'm using salifert mag but I can't seem to get cal n mag up to a proper level. My big sps colony got messed up cuz my doser died but after I chopped it up and fixed doser there hasn't been anymore RTN. Water temp is now a stable 79. I tossed the starfish out because a hammer n a frogspawn just closed up. I will do a water change soon. But I can't explain my goniopora closing... Been closed for 1-2 months and my tank was thriving then. I do feed my tank reefroids mixed with phyto 2x a week.

![]() Sounds like you just explained it. Calcium is quite low, mag is low, and high phosphates. All of that combined is sure to do a number on your tank. Id do a big water change asap

![]() That and the fact you had a doser and everything was probably pretty stable and now it's probably all outa wack
