Cynarina turning white. Helppp

I have notice my Cynarina is getting smaller and the color is gone. Any SIFU can help? I running a refugium to keep nitrate and phosphate low. The lighting par is 120 using seneye par reader.

Did you feed it? Try putting it into shaded area and feed it food.

I start direct feeding once every other day from last 2 weeks. It start to string down passed 2 months. Thank You for your advice. Hopefully feeding help get back it coral and shape.

Think ZERO Nitrate and Phosphate is not good especially you are keeping mainly LPS. Try to maintain NO3 at around 5 ppm and PO4 at around 0.03.

Lack of nutrients can cause colour lost in corals.

I used Seachem Flourish Nitrogen and Phosphorous to increase the nutrients in a controlled manner when my nutrients hit near zero, my corals coloured up after dosing.

Agree with SunkistC on zero nitrates & phosphates being a bad thing in a closed aquarium.

One quick way is to feed more meaty foods (eg mysis cubes or chopped prawns) to raise nitrate/phosphate to the suggested levels.

Thank You All Shifu for advice. I have moved to a shallow area under 30par and feed it every day. Also, reduced the hour of light to 6hour in my refugium to bring up the no3 and po4
