Your Ph should be a bit higher and also your calcium should be around 450 for optimal growth and also your alk I believe should be around 11 dkh also your nitrate is a bit high. What is golden pearls?

Actually I use Golden Pearls as part of my coral food recipe. Great stuff. I specifically use the 100-200 micron sized pearls. Basically it was developed as a substitute for feeding baby brine shrimp to fry. Somewhere along the way someone figured out that these things are a wonderful coral food as well.

Monitpora Digitata, also known as the "weed" of the SPS group, should grow alright in the conditions you've listed above. They aren't out of whack at all. What are you feeding it? Is it in a high flow area?
