Brand new Acanthophylia!

[Tramel]

Hello, i added a new acanthophylia to my display tank yesterday. Its kind of smaller but its mouth has been open even while it was at my LFS. Nitrates are 10-15, phosphate is a little high at 0.25. Im gonna take some pictures of my tank. Im welcome to all judgement, placement, flow, light etc. Its currently with
-2x colorado sunburst BTA clones
stratosphere zoa 8 polyp colony
And a few other smaller guys. I am gonna move the new acan where the olate coral currently is under an oveag

Its not like WIDE open. Its like a slightly open slit. Kind of like a vagina.
