Alveopora problems

[Deanster12]

Hi , I have had this Alveopora for about a week and it was fully open for 5 days now it’s retracted. All parameters are spot on, I did try and move it to the sand with lower flow but that’s just made things worse so I moved it back to its original spot when it was thriving. I have attached a before and after image, any advice would be appreciated

Flowerpots don't like sand in my experience, so if you want to place them low in the tank glue the frag to a small flat rock that it can rest on.

It's probably just ticked from being moved around. I'd leave it for a few days - it will probably be back to its former glory before then.

It seems to be coming out a bit more now even with the lights off, your probably right I should not of moved it, it will likely be sulking for a few days now, it’s just weird at what ticked it off in the first place after thriving, I guess my clowns must of brushed passed it
