I have had good look with mod to higher flow and mod lighting. If detritus or algae is allowed to build up the coral will stay closed. In my experience this coral does not like to be moved, but judging by your image I would say it's time to try new placement.
As always issues with water chemistry need to be ruled out first.
 
I just moved it here from lower in the tank where it will get more flow and light
 
What type of lighting? What are you water parameters? Its an easy coral to care for, but they still hate high phosphate levels.
 
I have t5 2 54w acentic blues and 2 54w 12000k white and my perms are good phosphate 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 5 and ammonia slightly high at .25 call 360 and dkh at 7
 
8 monthes but I moved a months or so ago and aside from this one coral nothing in the tank seems effected by the ammonia but I just can't seem to get it down
 
Either throw an ammo lok in there or ya gotta do a bunch of water changes.
 
Yeah I was thinking a 5g change overt 2 days and see what happens or do you think I schould do it every day
 
AS long as you see Ammonia, I'd perform a water change.
 
Are you using an API stip test?
