Hello to all reefers

Ive had this favia for a couple months now but i have never seen em really open up, ive only seen like a couple tentacles once the lights are off but not like I've seen from other reefers..

It has maintained its color since i got it but i honestly can't tell if its healthy or not.. i have it placed at the bottom of the tank with low-moderate flow.. Anything helps! Thank you!

Looks reasonably healthy, though maybe not thrilled? I'm not sure if I'm familiar with that exact favia shape.

The tentacles you see on favias are feeding tentacles, not out all the time. Different corals in different tanks will show their feeding tentacles different amounts of times, so that's not necessarily an indicator of anything one way or another.

Have you tried offering it food?
 
It looks unhappy, but not dying. I'd probably toss it on the ground. Some things in any tank just won't do well.
