I have 2 Kenya Trees in my tank right now. One is fully open and happy. The smaller of the 2 which is on the left side of the tank was looking happy and then today not so much. There is the possibility that a fish or a snails in the tank brushed up against it. Maybe it's not in a location that it's going to remain happy. All parameters are good to go as the rest of my corals are all doing well. I have attached some pics to see if this is just apart of their behavior or should I look at moving it to another location. With either higher flow or lower flow. Thanks for all the answers.

Sometimes they just droop or close up. I have a handful of stalks growing next to each other. Most of the time they look beautiful, but pretty frequently one (not always the same one) will shrivel up or droop for a few hours or even a day. Then that one goes back to looking great, and a few days later, some other stalk will shrink up. Maybe it's a fish irritating one, but who knows. Bottom line, it's not unusual for one to look great and another one to look terrible .
 
Mine did that too. It would rebound, but the first couple of times, it worried me.

Yeah, ya got that right! You can always depend on Kenya Trees. I'll have a few big ones when my 203 goes up. Pulsating Xenia too. I dig the softies, man.
