Having difficulty with sps corals, all my water specs are good, I feed the corals bio plankton, and phytoplex. The corals just shrivel up. Any suggestions

Post a picture if you can. SPS polyps normally close up during the day and come out at night. Unless they are being irritated by another coral close by.

No, had two of these they started out a good 5" and have withered down to 2". Definitely a problem.

What type of sps are we talking about?

What is your tank size and total gph turnover?

We need to figure out what type of coral you have. SPS don't wither and get smaller. Maybe leather corals?
