Looking for a bit of advice.

First time ordering a torch online. Arrived on time and apparently in fine condition, though understandably retracted from the trip.

Acclimated and dipped and placed in the tank in the same area as my other torch. The video here is from this morning, roughly 18 hours after placement. You can see it is still fully retracted while my other torch looks happy as a clam.

Parameters are
1.025
No ammonia or nitrite
Nitrates at 3 ppm
Alk 8.7
PH 8.2

Do I just need to be patient and let this guy settle in? Anything special I should do for it?

Thanks!

I tank sat a hammer for a friend a few years ago that when acclimating wanted 0 flow. He would close up like that, if I turned the pump off he would open right up. It may be something to consider beyond just acclimating to the light.
