Green Tree/Sinularia Drooping - Please help!

[HKSTurbo28]

My Green Tree Leather/Sinularia has been drooping over the past week now and I can't figure out why. My tank is all LPS/softies, pH is 8.3, temp is 78-80, salinity is 1.024.

I don't dose much except once a week as my pH is fine and I have no sps.

I have read somewhere that soft corals benefit from Iodine so can that be the reason?

Thanks!

Is it constantly drooping or just at certain times of the day?

with the lights off, they're drooped over but even when the lights do come on and the polyps on the tree comes out, the trunk is still drooped over.

Has it been happening long? Is there anything around it to annoy it?

A while back my sinularia did something similar. It just overall looked limp and droopy. It even slimed up. About 7-10 days later it was fine again. And bigger than it was before!

I've got all softies too and don't dose anything but alk and Ca. If you decide to dose for iodine, make sure you test for it too.

Try adjusting current or flow or position!
