This Christmas Mirabilis was growing out nicely at first. It encrusted and stalled for a few months. Would you suggest to allow it to acclimate and leave alone or re-locate?

Its current position

Seems like a lighting issue from the photos. Do you know what PAR it's getting?
 
I would say Leave it. It may be feeling it's way to a neighboring rock before it shoots up.
Well, I left it alone and sure enough, look who’s waking up! You have to look close but little points appearing and growth has accelerated rapidly as of late. Colors very bright in person. Thanks for the suggestion

Yep. And let it roll. I only clip branches when they get too close sometimes I wait a few days and say I’ll get to it but then it’s too late the tips are already stung from another coral.

I lost my first acro colony this way and going to trim my Frogskin today now that you mentioned this. He's trying to kill one of my digits I think.
