Coral issue?
I have been keeping corals (Soft, LPS) for a couple years.
They never grew well, but now they have stopped growing and some have receded. PO always 0. N 1-20 (I run bio pellets and phosphate is my limiter, so I dose once a week) 4x t5 (2 antic, 2 10k) Oyster eggs and phyto plankton once a week non direct feeding. The only change is I have reduced the lighting from 12 hours to 8, and the bio pellet reactor. My Nitrates were obscene before it... Oddly the sick acro I got for free is healthy and has grown... 55g, oversized skimmer, bio pellets, refugium, slightly over stocked on fish.

You need to test for calcium, magnesium and alkalinity. Calcium should be 420 to 460, kh should be 8 to 9 and magnesium should be above 1300.
