• Help me figure it out.

I cannot understand what is wrong with the aquarium, the living creatures are not feeling very well. The Politoya arrived brown and changed color to green, it seems everything is fine here. The bubble anemone (I feed it shrimp a couple of times a week) was white like a jellyfish, now it has turned a bit green and even divided - which seems to be a positive trend. The Sarcophyton (moved from the previous aquarium) After the operation (I cut off a part as it had darkened) it seems to be healing and recovering, but its color was green and now it is pale. I think it is recovering... although the question is, the Sarcophyton, which has been with me for a couple of weeks, was brown and now it has the same color as the one from the previous aquarium. Both of them do not seem to open fully. The Caulastraea lost about half of its body in a week... The Lobophytum rarely opens up a little bit to feed. There are a few more rigid branches, but I don't know if they are doing well. A week ago, I put in100 Purigen, it has already darkened considerably. I do small water changes of about 15 liters. I add 1.5 ml of vodka per day. Lighting: LED9 stars + T5 4x24 PH - 8.0 a week ago it was 8.

I did a test for calcium and was shocked that it dropped from 480 to less than 300 in a week, I don't know by how much, I'm short on tests. Nitrites 0.2 Unfortunately, I ran out of nitrate tests. What could be happening with calcium? By the way, during this time, an ophiuroid settled in. Did a couple of hard branches get eaten? I have Balling TM and will be mixing it... How can I raise it correctly without causing stress?

Check the calcium again... and the pH... something is wrong with the tests, in my opinion.

Did it 2 times... Well, okay, redid it O-O-O-O-O-O Sa 480 didn't understand... PH-8.1 somewhere, well, a maximum of 8.2.

Okay, a simpler question. What can cause coral to lose its color... In particular, sark, brown horns (probably acropora). Thank you in advance to everyone who responds!
