What are your parameters and how old is your tank?

 

[rapid]

do you test your water parameters? they all in check?

If water par. are all good just leave the little guy alone. Let him do his thing. usually adding a new nem will take time for it to adjust to your tank usually they hid in a dark area untill they are comfy. then they settle a little.

There is live rock, 1 clown fish, 1 green chromis, fire shrimp, polythoas , 1 hard coral that i saved from my friends tank (its doing well in mine ) , soft corals that look like trees.

The flow if good circulates tank nicely

It just looks ticked lol Dosent look like its dying. as long as its foot is still attached to the rocks and its moving itll find a place to be happy. it should adjust untill its comfy

ticked = Not happy

 

[Crazy coral keeper]

So it’ll be ok

 

[Crazy coral keeper]

Would it prefer blue blights or white light ???
Sorry.

When i bought it it was fully out for around 1 week and a half and i was happy that my birthday money didn’t go to waste but hopefully it will expand and look nice

If your water is all in check I would just leave it to settle, I wouldn't keep moving it to front of the tank for more light, if it is healthy it will move to where it wants to be and settle, most of them will choose high light but not always. I'd just leave it, it might not be used to super bright lights in its previous home so is acclimating to new light and you putting it into the light will make it unhappy.

I have put the acclimation mode on the reef beat app for my lights so it might be a bit stressed

Thanks for everyone help appreciate it

Just had a guy in one of our local Facebook groups that thought the same thing. Upgrade flow and with in an hour the nem looked great. What size tank and what are you using for water movement?
