Got this goniopora about a week or two ago. I am curious does it look fully open and happy? i had the flow off and the polyps seemed to extend even more than they are now. once i finished feeding i turned flow back on and they retract some. is flow too high? or does it seem to be doing good? it's barely fluttering in the water current so i'm hoping it's not too strong. Thanks!

Almost looks like he needs a tad more light. Just curious what is your PO4 and no3? Mine seem to like a little dirtier water and they will extend pretty far out.
