Been about a month and a half since the move. It was in a max nano and it would extend by mid day halfway up the tank (about 10 inches) and slowly retract as lights dimmed, but never fully. Now it only extends about 3 inches and appears a little bleached. Also it will fully retract about an hour before lights turn off. I also switched from instant ocean to aqua forest reef during the move. It’s my favorite coral so I am hoping it’s not slowly dying. Any suggestions??

Looks perfectly fine to me. If it was stretching that much previously it may not have been getting enough light.
I finally got around to testing and my alk was below 5! I think its the alk because it just doesn't look right. Got some dosing to do

Update, alk was never below five I had a bad test kit. Here is a photo under whites to show how bleached it is. Any steps to revive this guy? I’ve put it into a cave to lower the light and have been dosing Phyto daily
