I got this gorgonian five days ago, and all of a sudden I see some polyps extended on one small branch but not the others... what’s going on?

I already have flow on it, so much the coral is swaying a bit. Does it need more?

More flow is a good suggestion, but more info is definitely needed to really help. They are filter feeders and prefer a "dirty" tank as well as a good deal of flow. Not direct, but a lot of random flow passing by them. List all of your water params and we will be able to better help you.

Of course I have room for 1 more fish!
My purple candelabra gorg closes up from time to time. It’s normal, especially being added to a new tank. Just make sure no algae starts to build up on it. If it does, use a soft bristle tooth brush to clean it off

I can’t test it, I don’t have the tester. I’m planning to get the ones but hannah though... I know I should test but I’m an unemployed fifteen year old so getting a decent one is difficult.
