Hello,

I have just started stocking my tank with the first inhabitants (goby & shrimp + some snails) and also my first coral, a sinularia sp. but i’m not sure if it is healthy or not? It’s almost never open but stands upright tho.
I have positioned it at almost the bottom of my tank in a slightly darker corner & it’s in a decent current (i can see it wiggle)

Can i get an opinion or advice if it is healthy? See pictures. Pictures were taken under more blue light, currently the light is a little more white.

My tank values are decent altho i’m not sure about my lighting values. (Added it to check, it’s a micmol thor 60w blue)

Its shrunken but its fine. It likes light and flow, personally I would move it out of the corner into a higher flow area.
 
great news guys, i just came home & it’s open!
It’s shedding i think… stupid me

Wich i don’t like that it’s growing towards my other rock, is there any way i can stop it from doing that?
