I bought this Purple Stylophora (I assume it's a Stylophora) from a neglected tank 4 weeks ago. Base was brown and skeleton was showing on several branches. I cut off bad areas. Here in my tank it is not getting any better, maybe even worse? Tips are still fluffy. Branches still have some flesh on them but very thin and almost no polyp extending except the tips.
I have a green Pavona next to it and that is doing well. All other Soft and LPS and BTA in tank are doing well.
My AI Prime is set to 70% (BRS light schedule) and should be setup for an LPS tank. My Stylphora is right under the light fixture about 12.5-inches below (8.5-inches to water surface + 4-inches water). 12 hours photo period with ramp up and ramp down. Flow is medium.
What is the issue here? Too much light? Not enought light? Is it acclimating from the other tank?
I feed Aquaforest Pure Food for SPS (besides the food for my other coral and fish) and dose Microbelift All-in-one trace elements and I dose Plus-NP to provide Nitrate and Phosphate.
20G Nano (12 months old tank)
Ai Prime & AI Nero3
Canister filter with carbon, silicate remover and mechanical filtration
Chaeto reactor (set to night schedule)
Nitrate 0.0
Phos 0.0
PH 8.1
Alk 8
Calcium 400
Mag 1900 (can't get it any lower)
