Any tips for my new goniapora? TSA Sweet Heart Goni.

[Leon Gorani]

I bought a top shelf aquatics Sweet Heart Goni and it was doing alright when I first got it in the tank. I have 5 other goniapora that are in my tank doing really well from what I can see. Will post pics of those for comparison. Not much has changed in my tank since I put this new one in. But the new one only opens up when the lights are almost off or dimming down. I did put my AI prime lights on acclimation mode for the new coral, not sure if that helped. the new Goni would open a few days but the last couple days it hasn’t opened at al. Anyone have any idea of why this might happen and what I should do? the 4rth pic was taken today, which is how it has looked recently.

I can't tell much in the 4th image. Is the 1st image what it looked like when you first added it? All my flowerpots seem to like a bit lower flow (with 125-150 PAR) and lower placement (bottom 1/3 of the tank) - but this is also influenced by my lighting/schedule (I'm not advocating you move it - just something to mull around).
