I've had my elegance for about 6 months, it opens all day a d the mouth is closed over all it looks fine but recently I noticed its tentacles are looking scrawny and thinner than before. Any idea what's going on ?

It does look unhappy.

Flow change perhaps? Is the base conical shaped? If so, they are best to be on the sandbed deep enough so it's polyps lay out on the sand.

What kind of flow is it in? Looks kinda droopy. I notice occasionally some of my corals look less happy than normal. When I look more closely I can tell they are getting less flow than they are used to and it's time to clean my powerheads
