9 days ago I added a WD frag to my tank. It was picked up locally and before placing into my tank I broke off the frag plug and dipped in revive. After inspecting it was placed in my display tank. After 2 days the coral looked fantastic. Was getting full PE. Recently I noticed though that the coral stopped extending its polyps at night and the day time extension isn't what it was previously. Given it's only been a little.more than a week I know the coral is still aclimating but does it seem weird that the PE has been getting worse like this? Lights are off in the tank and this is how it looks.

Do you have any other Tenuis? Do your other acros have good PE? Do you have any Angel fish?

Nutrient export methods?

No this is the only one. Everything else looks OK. Phophate .02 and nitrate was 5.5. No fish in the tank only a mantis shrimp.
 
You shouldn't dip acro in revive. Potassium salts (IE. Reef Primer, "The Dip") are much better for these sensitive animals.
