my xenia is looking very "skinny"

i noticed today that the pulsating xenia looks "skinny" like a twig not plump like it usually is

all my other corals look healthy

when i came home one of my PH was hitting it directly

will it get plump again or is it dying??

I doubt it's dying....maybe just a little pissed off from being blasted.It should recover.

Xenia are pretty hard to kill. It should recover quickly.

Xenias eat up iodine. I had a person whoms been doing saltwater or 40+ years tell me. I couldn't figure out why mine was always low. So if they start breaking apart that's what it is.
