I had to adjust the flow to ensure that the hammer corals and torch get good movement, and now the daisy coral closed and won't open. It's now day 2....do I give it some time, or should I move it to an area with very low flow...I didn't turn it up that much, but it appears it was enough to 'stress' the coral?

Can you send a picture of the tank?

Did adjusting the flow cause the daisy coral (are these star polyps? not familiar with the name, tbh) to take a "direct hit" when they were used to more gentle flow before?

I wouldn't say they're stressed, more like mad per say. But I would give them a few more days, and if they still don't open up, move the frag if possible.

How many days should I give - it's been 3 days now and the coral hasn't opened.
