hello anyone can help this goni. out,

had it about a year now and its been looking great ,for the last month its been looking bad ,the polyps are barly comming out its got some growth on the skeleton,hope you could see in the pic.

all water parameters are perfect ,lighting is fine ,everything else in the tank is looking great,

i know how hard they are to keep ,and i would have never purchased one ,but it was sent to me by mistake ,since i live in MX.sending it back was not an option,

im thinking of giving it a lugols dip ?
anything else i can do?

i dont think its can be water quality,lighting ,or flow ,since its been looking good for the last year ,and everything else in the tank is fine.,

Can you list your actual water param numbers?

What does the growth look like to your eyes? Looks like cyano in the pic....

ph-8.3
alk-10-11
mg-1250
sg.-1026
phos.0.2
nitrates-0.5

lighting is 2x250 mh.14k 2 54 t5 actics

there are some softies and a few lps all looks great its just the goni looking bad,

the build up looks like a dark mud ,it doesnt seem to be anywhere in the tank but on the goni.

should i try a lugols dip?

thanks for your time
