Hi,
I bought a large elegance coral which replaced my torch coral’s location on the sandbed. I moved it up higher, still out of flow, but now in higher lighting. It does look slightly different than it had previously in terms of its tentacles.
Below is a before and after comparison of the torch coral. Is it still happy? Do the tentacles curving up like this pose for concern?

They like moderate light and moderate to slightly higher flow. They seem fine but if its out of flow it needs to be IN flow.

Remember when moving corals higher you could be exposing it to stronger or change of flow. I wouldn't be concerned. Coral are living creatures and have to adapt to new environments.
