weird coral problem

[supfoo2005]

My paly/zoa colony is like inside out most of the time and just recently started looking like it's bubbling. This is the only colony in the whole system that is having any problems at all. As you can see, the others are just fine.

I cant wait to see what people say about that. Ive never seen that before.

It's really the weirdest thing. They kind of look like mushrooms. Land mushrooms lol

So overextended? Like they are opening up too much? Sounds like they are getting too much light to me...try moving them lower if you think this is the case

They're only about 6" off the bottom. The rock they're on is on the bottom already. I'm at a loss.

Dang, sorry. What are your levels?

 

[supfoo2005]

Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate between 5-10
Alkalinity 9 dKH
Temp 77
Calcium 400ppm
PH 8.3
Everything is super stable. Just one problem colony.

Maybe they are not getting enough light? The more surface area might mean they need more light. Or maybe the salinity is off.
