Receding Lobo

[devoinbk]

This guy has been in my DT for 2 days...mixed reef well fed. Looked great when I got em. I?m starting to see skeleton as you can see in pic. Have another Lobo maybe 3?lower doing just fine. Parameters are Alk7.2 Cal 430 nitrates little high 40 Mag 1350 tested with salifet kits. He was dipped in coral rx prior to going in. Lighting..
Hydra 52?s running at 60% power heavy blue and reefbrite xo. Pic was taken at 100% full spectrum to show detail. Looking for advice

How much light and flow is it getting. Those are usually the first two things i look at if all parameters are in check. Try putting it in shaded low flow part of the tank and see if it puffs back up.

I described the light situation, flow is med to low.....have a Lobo doing great maybe 3? lower.....do you think 3? inches is gonna matter, he?s about 20? below the surface and lights are 15? above surface....don?t think it?s a light issue....tank is flourishing (knock on wood) just this one piece
