So I purchased a green tree coral frag a few weeks ago. It was doing great, growing new stalks, and polyps always open. Just the past few days, it's been getting the shrinking, droopy look. The polyps are still open, but not as often. Picture of the coral is below, sorry about the quality.
Past few days:
A week ago:

Water parameters:
Temp - 78-80 degrees
SG - 0.025 (was a 0.026 yesterday, but topped off a little today)
Nitrates - 0
Nitrite -0
pH- 7.8
Calcium- 400
kH- 9
My tank is a 28 gallon bow front, with 2 65 watt compact fluorescents. Water flow is moderate around the coral. I've been feeding it every other day with kent phytoplankton.
What might be the cause of the coral shrinking? I have a bad feeling it's going to die soon. Is there any way I can stop this?
