(I’m sorry if you’ve already seen this post part of the title got cut off)
My Blueberry Stylophora isn’t opening... I just did an aquarium clean... vacuuming, removing hair algae, moving sand back, and am currently putting clean saltwater into the aquarium. The polyps aren’t open all the way and I’m a bit concerned and I’ve never had a Stylophora before... is it just adjusting? Is something wrong? I got it yesterday and it was open and doing okay, I moved it to higher flow as I’ve heard they like high flow and now it’s kinda closed. Any help is appreciated

I also just got it yesterday

You’ll want to test the water to see if your parameters are in line. It doesn’t look like it’s dying, but it defiantly looks stressed. The sand you are using looks really fine. SPS corals need a decent amount of flow, which in return is gonna blow that fine stuff all over.

How many other corals do you have in the tank? How do they look?
What’s the tank size?
What salt mix?

So, have you gotten around to testing those parameters yet?
