Help! Sick hydnophora!

[Alunai]

Here is a post I made on TCMAS, I am desperately trying to find help for this coral..

A few months ago I decided to try to bring a dwindling hydnophora back to health. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing much improvement at all and have recently noticed some significant tissue recession. It is too tight to the skeleton to eat anything and I haven't seen the polyps extend since.. well, I don't remember. In my 29 gallon I run a Nova Extreme SLR T-5 light fixture with one actinic and one daylight bulb, as well as a cool white LED strip. My parameters are alright, I just had them tested and all checked out fine except for the alkalinity, which was low at 7dkh. I'm dosing 1 cap of Seachem Carbonate per week trying to bring alkalinity back up. Otherwise, I don't know. I don't want to see this coral die, as I have seen how beautiful it can be. I am hoping to find someone who can take care of this coral, bring it back to health and someday receive a frag from the thriving colony. I don't know how this Frag It Forward thing usually works, but I do know I want the best possible home for this coral that I have grown attached to.

I have a large hydnophora colony that I've had for about 6 months. I have it up very high in my tank under T5 lighting. My tank isn't dirty but I don’t over-skim. It was the mother colony a local reefer used to feed frags to our best lfs. I bought the huge mother colony from the lfs for $30. When I got it it had some tissue recesion but it hasn't gotten worse. The tissue looks full and polys extend.

Is your tank an uber clean sps tank. I sense they like some nutrients and particulates in the water but that's a guess. I'll try to find a pic of mine. Good luck.
