Trouble with Bubble coral

[mousehatter]

Hello!
Tank is a 29gal biocube established in Jan. Running chemipure elite, filter floss, refugium in back. Upgraded lights to ai prime hd.
Bought a bubble coral a little over a week ago and it has been very happy since.
Yesterday it started looking ****ED. I don't want to do too much to stress it out more.

Ammonia and nitrite undetectable, ph 7.8, nitrates 10ppm (did a water change after taking tests).

I don't spot feed it. It gets what the tank gets. I haven't seen the clowns or midas bothering it or any cuc.

Everything else in the tank seems happy including a gold torch.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Being that everything else in the tank looks great though it might just be in a bad mood. Corals can be very temperamental sometimes. How does it look now? (3 hours later)

Nothing wrong with it. Mine does the same thing.

Mine does that at night or sometimes in the day. Bubbles should be in area of low flow. When it gets too much, it scrunches up.

At night it looks like they with
Feelers out

Yes, this is exactly what it was like for a week or so. Now the last 2 days it's been closed or almost. No feelers at night either.

Low flow and indirect.

Would check for any pests and maybe iodine dip

What's the magnesium? I had some acans that were angry and contracted when my mag got low.

 

[dtapke]

well your nitrates seem a bit high and your PH a bit low, so maybe doing a water change? whats your mag?

I agree, try SLOWLY bringing up PH to 8.2. You can drip small amounts of Kalkwasser to do so.
