Hello,

I have had this trachyphyllia for about 8weeks now. In the beginning, it would throws its tentacles out at night often but recently I have not seen it much. I have seen its mouth more however. The color looks good and it hasn’t shriveled up or anything. Just wanted to see if you think this is healthy or if it’s getting stressed

Alk stays at this level slowly trying to raise it by 0.1 every few days. I have attached a full tank photo as well. The other corals are doing well

How is the flow on it? It doesn't like flow, I mean like none at all. IME it is very hard to find a spot that makes the trachy happy.
