The green trumpet? Or pink symphyillia Wilsoni?

Oh, I meant the bubble coral! But those greens and pinks are stealing the show too. Reef party vibes for sure

Let me start by saying I’m quite unconventional. I don’t agree with the low parameters of phosphate and nitrates. A lot of people would say no way I’m wrong! And i very well could be….. for their tank…But it works for me And it works great! Doesn’t mean it will for you though. Try placing in different areas. 50 par to 200 par areas, each move give it 3-7 days before moving again. Play with one parameter at a time find it’s too low of light and maybe find it’s too high of light if you don’t find a happy spot you like first then come back down if needed. Then try direct feeding one or two mysis shrimp like 3/8-1/2” long a day. See if that helps. I don’t direct feed anything much unless I get the gut feeling I need to or I just want to have some fun. Then maybe play with water parameters, CAREFUL! I run stupid high 16.8 nitrates and 2.5 phosphates. I wouldn’t supplement those in if you decide you want to raise your levels a little just feed a little heavier. It’s more natural and gives things a little more food all around. Yes no algae, very clean no maintenance. It’s a steroid tank lol this tank has two hydra 32 HDs, I run them at 70% overall intensity. With my uv and blues at 100 green and red 0% and white at 10%. The light sits about 41” above him. 14” above water surface. He’s about 110 par last time I checked I THINK…. I don’t have a cure all answer for you. Just some things to try and try then slow and one at a time! They say high nitrates and phosphates are hard on fish and is an algae farm…. 🤷🏼‍♂️ maybe I have 14 tough ass fish in a magically clean ass tank or they are wrong… I know it grows fish and corrals like crazy. I feed hard daily because I love watching them eat. But I don’t let a ton go uneaten. I dose Red Sea AB+ 3ml daily to 150 gal, I half-ish dose broadcast feed phytofeast and reef roids and one baby cube of baby mysis shrimp 2times a week as well. It gets 4 gal daily auto water change. Try par, try feeding direct and broadcast feeding more. It’s all a science experiment. No body knows what they are talking about! Take everyone’s direct fix advice with a grain of salt, try one change at a time and give it days or even weeks before changing a different parameter.
