ORA Nathans Green Milli (Little or no PE)

I have a Nathan's Green Mille. It's fairly large that I grew from a frag. Has done very well up till about 2-3 wks ago. All of a sudden hardly no PE. Had been very hairy up to that point. One night my wife and I were looking at the tank and noticed what appeared to be polyp bailout. Tufts of star like polyps in several places were coming of the coral. Not sure a mille will even do this. I do have poccillipora that have done this and I have small pocci's in about a dozen different places. Anyway since then there has been very little PE on this one particular coral.
I checked parameters a couple days ago and all seem to be in check.
Ca. 480-500
Alk. 11.5
Mg. 1500
Nitrate 0 or undectable
Po4 .01-.03
All test were Salifert except phos. done with Seachem.
All other corals (acro/sps) are doing great. Just the one Mille. I keep my parameters at high levels because I feed the Blue Coral method (pappone) 2x a week.
Anybody got any ideas or input would be great.
thanks
