Acan help

[Tacoma22]

Bought this guy 5 days ago and he hasn’t budged. Did I stress him too much adhering him to the rock? Any suggestions? Thanks!!

What do you mean by hasn't budged? From the photo, while not fully extended it doesn't look in bad shape or anything. I'd give it a bit more time to settle in.

He hasn’t moved at all from that position, I was just wondering if that’s normal.

Mine acans all stay in the same spot, my anemonies move around.

It's an LPS coral. They don't move. They will puff up or extend feeders but that's it.

As @Porpoise Hork pointed out, LPS corals will not move on their own. They will expand as they grow producing more polyps/heads and increasing the size of their skeletal base.

Soft corals like mushrooms and xenia on the other hand can "move" or grow along the rockwork.

It's the best kind of coral - it stays where you put it.

It's fine, it will probably extend when it gets fully acclimated otherwise that looks fine. And no, they don't move lol
