Try getting PO4 tested? High PO4 will directly inhibit calcification, but I'm not so sure if it can cause tissue recession. 

What's your feeding & WC schedules like? Spotted any nocturnal pests having a munch?

Hi, okay I will try to check on my po4 but highly doubt its high as im using rowa and also carbon dosing...i feed fishes daily twice but only once per week for my corals....nop Ive been trying to spot some pest but so far no pest spotted..was told maybe some crabs

If ur nutrients too low, it will cause fleshy lps to recede even when u feed them weekly. Cos I think they need a constant supply of food. This is base on my own experience.

What u can try now is maybe feed ur lps more often. See whether there's any improvement. Also chk ur no3. If less than 5ppm then maybe too low for ur lps.
