My 1 head AOI Zoa seems to be half opened for about 2-3 days now and closes up early before my lights turn. It just recently started to grow and develop a second head and spreading its flesh onto the frag plug. It has been healthy in the same spot for almost a month now, however now it looks as if it’s reaching for light, isn’t fully open even though it’s on a frag rack at the top of my tank, and it’s colors seem not vibrant. Also my other more demanding LPS corals are doing fine. I’m just wondering what might be up with it?
 
a picture always helps to confirm. But stretching often indicates lack of light, I find its quite common to underestimate how much light zoa's/pally's like.
