Droopy Kenya Tree

[PacoPetty]

I have a 32 gallon bio cube that is three months old. I have two clown fish, a Midas blenny, and two green mandarins. Seven days ago I added a small clove polyp, a one head hammer coral, and a two stalk Kenya tree. This morning I got up and the Kenya tree was drooping. It is on the sand bed with low to medium flow . Any suggestions to help it would be greatly appreciated.
I change the filter floss every four days and do a 10 gallon water change every 10 days. I have two bags of marine pure gems and chemi pure elite on the bottom shelf of the media basket. I have Chaeto in the fuge basket with a grow light on a 12 hour cycle opposite of the DT lights.
My parameters are as follows and steady:
Temp 79.1
Salinity 1.025
Ph 8.1
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5
Ammonia .5
Calcium 520
Alk 8

It looks healthy I wouldn’t be concerned sometimes they do this . I call it taking a break. The leathers do it too. You can try propping them up with some support .

Thank you! When my girlfriend asked me what I was doing and I told her the Kenya tree was drooping she said maybe it’s just taking a nap!

You have an ammonia reading?

Mine does that all the time. Sometimes it sheds like a toadstool leather, then it opens back up again.

It droops every time I turn the powerhead in and as soon as I turn it off it stands back up.

Min did the same thing yesterday when I added it to the tank. I had .025 ammonia spikes from new fish and corals. Try a 20% water change. Ammonia should not be at .5 that's high .. like cycling tank high. They bounce back though.
