Toadstool leather

[NanCrab]

Will not open, used to be open 24/7. I have several unhappy corals I can’t figure what they’re mad about. Duncan whisker, 2 Acans, cloves. All different types. Parameters good, water change Friday. The majority of my corals are doing great but these 4 all got bad around the same time. I did have a PO4 spike but it is resolved, NO3 5+, PO4 .003, SG 1.025 T 78
Have no idea what else to do.
These full image pics are the sad ones, the thumbnails are an example of the happy corals.

I can’t help you much because my tank is struggling too but my toadstool closed up for a couple of weeks and everyone told me to leave it and it eventually opened bigger and brighter than ever.

No clue. Most of my hard corals croaked. Or look like it. My zoas haven’t been opening. I lost a frog spawn, hammer, 1/2of my goniopora has bailed. Been eliminating things. Raised my light, decreased flow, lowering salinity, now working on phosphates and nitrates. Hopefully I’ll get there before everything is gone. Lol

Wow that does sound like a struggle. What are your nitrate and phosphates reading right now?

Toadlstools close naturally. My largest one will close for a week or so at a time. They do this to shed their skin and grow. Not saying that is what is happening to yours necessarily, but it is something that happens to them regularly.

Finally have nitrates between zero and 5. Phosphates are down to .15. Things are starting to color up some.
