Hi guys

Would you please give me an ID of this euphillya and maybe advice for the flow?
And does the coral tend to open more than on the actual video/pic?

thanks for your help!

Purple tip hammer and moderate light and water flow. Feed 2-3x per week- mysis is a good food
Placement- lower 3rd of tank and keep 3” away from other coral

Well, the flow is more than moderate I guess. But was too low for my pocillopora. The light is AI Prime running pretty „high“. But the coral is in the lower 3rd for sure.

Would you say, the flesh and/or polyps should be more out/open? I thought those are bigger with polyps

As they acclimate to the tank they will expand more in my experience. I have a purple/green indo, 2 orange Aussie and all 3 took a while to adjust. Just added a new bleached (appears to be a purple tip) and it is quite tight like yours right now
