This might be my first one out of a few I recently purchased that make not make it. Looking kind of pale and very few polyps. Had it about 3 weeks now and every day seems to be showing less and less. Had it under low lighting and have since moved it up a bit higher. Not sure what the par is but it's under a G5 at about 32% in a 40 breeder. Almost looks like it gets to much light but not sure. Gets good flow but not to strong from my MP 10.
Even my green slimer has its polyps out but it just looks like it's not doing much otherwise. A while ago my salinity was down a little but have since brought it up. My phosphates were also reading at .08 but after sucking up some nasties and adding more macro it's down to .02 now. Nitrates at 1 ppm.
 
Might still be stressed out from your salinity swing. I bought one from a local friend and it remained closed for a while. I started to give up on the frag but put it in a moderate flow/high light location and crossed my fingers. After 5 weeks it was completely open and growing at a very good rate.

It is just waking up in the picture.

Well maybe. Can't really do much but give it time. Nothing is irritating it and it is still new. Maybe it's just still adjusting.
 
The polyps aren't even out like that now. They seem to be retracted and i don't want to move it or cause further stress.
