Hi guys

After a bit of advice ; got this orange tree coral last weekend and it extended fine first few days but hasn't extended now for 3 days and I'm a little concerned

Its at the bottom of the tank away from the main lighting and in medium flow

Tested all parameters and they're fine and everything else in the tank is growing great (tank has been set up approx two years) this tree is just not happy I can tell

Sounds like it may b a cauliflower coral/scleronephthya. Or a dendronephthya. Both have little to no lighting needs and are heavy eaters. Very hard to satisfy within a closed system.
