Button Scoly is dying!!!

[HydroJ]

My button scrolly looks really unhappy. I worry it is going to die. Is there something I can do to help it? Other coral looks fine during the day. Expect the yellow plate coral.

I dose all for reef, water change once per 2 weeks. I got a mini skimmer, and the light is AI Prime.

My 25-gallon tank:
Alk: 8.2
Ca: 380
Mg: 1280
Temp: 79

If this is your first time seeing it like that, could be just retracting to expel waste or food. Wish I had a picture of my aquaman when it does that to show you. It reduces size by more than half

In fact the more I look at the pic it seem to be just expelling. If this is pic today, check it out tomorrow and see that it’s fattened back up

Did you get any more pictures today? How does it look?

It does look better, but I'm still worried about the weird lesion on the tissue.

You talking about the white? Can you get a better pic?

My green Scoty has a white area. It gets bigger as it expands when eating: I’ve been told it’s normal. The guy is healthy otherwise. It can be stretching an area of zooxanthalae on its tissue. I wouldn’t worry. Sucks bc it’s a blemish lol: but it’s healthy otherwise
