Is this normal? I’ve had this toadstool coral about 2 weeks. First 3 days it opened up some, the arms as I call them came out some. I read they like a lot of water movement so I moved the rock under the output . Is this normal? Hasn’t opened up in a week n is drooped over… my water is always perfect, I do 30% water changes every 2 weeks. I’ve had 2 anemones for 4 months now and they do just fine… any advice would be helpful

Is your output the only thing you have for water movement??

And what parameters are "just fine"
30% water change is alot for a reef tank, it appears your tank is young, how long has your tank been running?
 
I have a wave maker on the other side of tank, it’s a 75 gallon tank.

Ive had it up for 6 months , we did the live rock/live sand and instant bacteria till it cycled for a month. Now I’ve got hermits n snails that take care of the algae /waste and 1 sand star and I have 11 fish and 2 shrimps. I do the water changes just cuz im scared something will happen but I’ve actually never had a trace of ammonia or nitrites. Since it cycled its been 0. Nitrates fluctuate 10-20 usually . Ph 8.1, salinity .25. Calcium tries to go 360 so I put in supplement to raise that. If I’m missing anything please tell me I am always paranoid after reading and watching so many videos lol

Does it look normal? I read they do this for a long time when adjusting ? I know I got my anemones way to early I’m surprised that have done so well but I learned that once I already had them ‍♀️
 
Elevate it and assure it is under moderate light and medium water flow and there is Some iron and potassium in the water
Give it a few gentle bursts with a turkey baster
