Any idea why this singular coral is getting so grumpy? None of my other corals/inverts/fish are looking unhappy, but this poor tree coral is just not having it.

Water parameters tested w/ Red Sea
Temp: 78⁰ F
Salinity: 1.025 SG
pH: 8.2
KH: 9.8
Ammonia: undetected
Nitrate: 40 ppm (just harvested a bunch of macro algae, I'm assuming that's why it's higher. Again, LPS corals are looking totally fine and I'm not having any algae blooms, so I don't think that's the issue).
Calcium: 450 ppm
Magnesium: 1100 ppm
Phosphate: 0.10 ppm

The mushroom beside it is reaching up for more light, it makes me think that the Kenya tree also not getting enough light either. Try increasing your light to the point where the mushroom is not reaching anymore, that should make the Kenya tree happier.
