Coral help

[CVAquarium]

Hi! My tank (50G Cube) has been up and running for about a year now. We have 2x clowns, 2x damsels, a starry Blenny, a flame back Angel, and a Tomini Tang. Fish seem happy and parameters are somewhat stable, so we added a mushroom coral (pic attached). The coral hasn't opened up fully and we've had it for a couple of months now. Any thoughts on what is causing this and how we can correct?

We have a coral grow blade, and parameters are below:
Temp: 79.4
Salinity: 1.025
Ph: 8.1
Phosphate: .01
Alkalinity: 7.1

Thanks in advance for any help!

Ricordea just takes a while to acclimate. It likes low light so move it where there's more shadows or away from under direct light. Should be fine in a few days.

Always odd to me to show phos or nitrates, but not both. Both are very important in nutrition for corals.

Phos .01 is pretty much zero. If nitrates are also nearly zero, this is basically starving corals, including the mushroom.

Do you have an idea on the par level? My ricordia's like higher light than other mushrooms
