My gorgonians arent opening, Sun corals are slowly dying. dendros are fine. Carnation is fine.

Ammonia 0
Nitrate 0
Salinity 1.025

Those are the only test kits I have left

Feeding hasnt changed.

Any ideas?

sorry but thats like no info at all , i cant do much for you without some info on your tank , your maintanance schedule,corals you have , food and any other information you have including pics.
 
I do 10 gallon water changes twice a month. I only have the corals mentioned above. I am feeding Uhuru's mix of fauna marin foods, plus PE mysis, some phyto, reef roids, coral frenzy, and cyclopeeze.
 
How often are you feeding? I would have said the water changes weren't enough but your parameters are good and your carnation would go south long before your dendros if water was the problem

What's your feeding schedule now. I know Mike's (Uhuru) mix is good, having lived near him while he was in school here. It seems to bring sickness, parasitic or starvation to the front of the line. Have you checked them for any sign of parasites?
 
If it were just the gorgonian, I'd say that's just what happens with many, long term but suns are very hardy and their needs so close to that of dendros that I'm at a loss at what could be affecting one but not the other. What is the exact condition of the suns? That could help and what test kit are you using to check nitrates?

Have you attempted to message Uhuru? I don't know how active he is, after graduating veterinary school but it's worth a shot. He's a pro with these corals
