Elegance trouble

I have two Pieces of Elegance corals in my tank.

In the last two weeks they have both looked like a frightened turtle. They don't come out even at night. I haven't noticed anything picking at them.

Everything Else is looking good in the tank.

1.021
No3-20ppm
PH- 8.2

thanks.

Elegance are very difficult and your water is not the perfect parameters to try with. Salinity is low, NO3 high. What about phos and Alk?

Sorry didn't notice the 1.021 - that's way to low. I can't imagine you have an s.g. like that and sufficient ca, alk and mg unless your dosing a ton...

That said, Elegance corals don't have a good record.

how long in total have you had them? any changes to the tank. I also agree that your parameters are a bit off. Any algea growing o them that may be irritating them? If you have pics that would be great.
