No polyp extention on birds nest
Everything else in the tank shows polyp extension. Too much flow? light? Its midway in the tank. Thoughts?

For me, the birdsnest was my canary. When something was off with the water, it would lose pe. What are water parameters at?

Any nipping fish or pests? Most people usually go with "no way," but it is important that you objectively consider any fish and really look at the coral for pests. Birdsnest are easy targets since they usually have polyps out all of the time.
