I got my first two torch corals two and a half weeks ago. The one on the left took a day or two to open but has since been open and flowy and already split into a second head. The one on the right seems to alternate throughout the day of longish tentacle to slightly deflated tentacles (still out just shorter and limp) and not nearly as flowy. Its tentacles actually seem to look best early in the morning before the full lights are on.

Is this just a case of it still adjusting or should I try it somewhere with less light?

I might try placing it in a different spot to see if it improves, not necessarily less light, but just to give it a different perspective on light and flow.
