Too much light,flow and what not could be a number of issues

ok I figured it could be many things, I just recently moved it to the bottom from the top, into a lower flow area.

Looks like the color has improved, but it is closed up from too much flow. I had a chalice that would not open for several months. I moved it 4 inches to the left into lower flow and it is happy as a clam now. :bigsmile:

the color on this coral is great, i just wish it was fatter, I have seen a little improvement in the past few days by moving it lower and into less flow, I also am feeding it a lil more. thanks

I say lighting.

Also I notice ALOT of new heads forming, when they split mine tighten all up.

I did go from pc to t5 ho within the last year, hopefully moving to the bottom will help.

it did go from 3 to 12 heads in a short period of time. then just shrunk and stopped growing.

just wanted to give a quick update: first pic is about a year ago, second pic is 2 months ago an the 3rd is today. It has shown much improvement since moving it to the bottom where it gets less flow and less lighting. I also spot feed him mysis once a week. Thanks for the advice guys I am really happy how much better it looks in just a couple months.
