Picked up a nice piece of devils hand at my LFS. After getting it home and getting the coral acclimated it did open up. However, it’s not as big as it was in the fish store. How long should I leave it in its current position to see if it opens up any further? I’ve got it in the middle of my tank with moderate flow. Lights are at 30%. Not sure how long I should leave it in its current position before adjusting the lights or moving it up.

@3000kelvin I’m not an expert. But when I moved a devils hand from someone else’s tank to mime it took several weeks for it to adjust to the new environment
