So this Rose Bubble Tip has been in a tank for a few weeks. It's staying where I dropped it off first day. Opens nicely. But is stretching up. Does it want more light? What's is its deal?

She's wedged in between a few rocks. That petrified ancient coral is kind of above the Anemone.

Do you mean lighting under the anemone?? Not even sure how to do that! But I can raise lighting. I'm currently only running the Radions at 55%.

I would leave it alone. It looks good to me. Not all bubble tips actually bubble, some just have long stringing tentacles. Personally I wouldn't change flow or lighting. If the nem stays put it usually means they like the spot. Bubble tips will move all over the tank looking for a spot if they aren't happy.

also this. one of the easiest coral for placement just turn the tank on and check back in 3months theyll figure it out.
