Red Thomas mushroom faded glory issue!

I got this red Thomas mushroom a year ago. It was going good...
Now past few months shrunk to half the size and red color is faded.

Hard to spot feed too.
It's alive, though used to be expanded and red when light were on.

Any advice how to revive this thing.?

It's right in center of pic, low light and flow. Other mushrooms doing great.
Thanks

I'd put it in the shade, they burn very easily and hate white light. Also how are your nitrates and phosphates?

As organism said test your perimeters and try moving it and see if it improves.

Oh my nitrates ate zero, phosphates I forgot but normal as sea water.
I did move it in part shade let's see..
Does it need spot feeding?
Thanks

Ok...it seems to like a lightly shaded area below SPS and low flow...let's see!

feed it, they are slower compare to other, but that will help.
