Hi everybody,

I got a bunch of live rock a few weeks ago and finally moved it from my quarantine tank to my display tank. (I’ll start a build thread soon!). There is more flow in the DT. Does this rose coral look like it’s doing ok in the higher flow? It didn’t generally keep its feeders out during the day in the QT but I did notice that it would stick the feeders out when I did a water change.
I know it isn’t as brightly colored as many brain corals but it came in as a half dead hitchhiker stuck to the rock (lots of exposed skeleton) and I don’t think they ever get as colorful as a lot of the highly colored favia/trachy/lobos for sale most places so I’m not worried about the color.

I just want to know if the tissue extension looks good or like it’s stressed.

Little late to the party but that thing looks super healthy to me, you wouldn't be getting the PE if it was really stressed out.
 
Thanks! At this point I am used to the way it looks. I admit, the first time it retracted at night I got scarred again though. It's been pretty cool watching its rhythms/routine.
