Need some guidance, placement, flow.

I’ve got this coral, I think it’s stylophora. Can’t seem to get it to fully extend or flourish. What kind of lighting and nutrition can I do for it? And flow levels?

I'm having the same sort of problem with my purple stylo its currently in moderate flow and lighting

SPS typically like flow to go around them and not directly in them. Somewhere around 200 PAR should work as well. How long have you had the coral? It could just be adjusting to your parameters as well. For nutrients you are looking have phosphate below 0.1 ppm and nitrates around 5-10.

A couple questions. How long has the coral been in the tank? How old is the tank? Also, do you have any other SPS in the tank and what are your water parameters?
