We have historically had awesome luck with Gonis, but in the last couple months have lost 2 and now one of the larger ones I have had I just noticed tonight that it was starting to have some recession. This was an aquacultured one we purchased at the CT Frag Farmers Market 1.5 years ago. We recently just lost the other one ina slightly different color bough the same time and same vendor. Extension has been great and honestly they all looked good until they didn’t.
Parameters:
Ph -7.8 (night) to 8.1 range - this should have been similar all around
Alk -9.5 (seems to always be about the same although I dont have a trident yet for monitoring)
Calc - 430
Mag - 1350
Phosphate -0.04- 0.10
Nitrate - 5-10
Dosing Reef Fusion 1&2 with Red Sea doser

Small bag of carbon
SG 1.025
Using Fritz’s RPM blue
Looking for any help as it is starting to get frustrating (some other corals have had random poly bailout - large hammer colony)
Lost small maxima clam last night randomly too that looked great.
Is this brown Jelly ?? Should I dip this? Hydrogen peroxide maybe in the whole rock given it is encrusting it a bit? Last one that did this I dipped with lugols solution but it is no dead.
I’ve done ICP testing and nothing really stood out too.
