Give it time. If your water parameters are in line then it should improve.
He's now not in the LFS tank, he's in yours. Your lighting is different, and so is your water, he must settle in before he gives full color for you. And your water parameters should be spot on, or he won't.

Oh, theres a good viewpoint right there. Kenya Trees are bullet proof. What kind of light do you have?
T-5 HO lamps? Or just normal T-5?
If its HO, you rin good shape, no worries, just a waiting game on the corals to open up.

How old is this tank?
Please post your water test results.
Are you using RODI water?
What kind of light are you using?
How is your water flow?
What is you temperature? What is the temperature at the LFS in that tank? (I carry a portable digital temp probe so I can get a better idea what to expect during and after I do the climactic drip)
How did you treat, ....do the climatic, ....dip...drip?
How are you maintaining nutriments?

It may just me a normal output T-5, which isn't going to help yoiu out any with Corals.

My kenya tree took almost 2 week before it was all pretty and fluffed out. The anthelia and xenia took as I said about a week before they did.
They are adjusting to the differences between your tank and where they came from.
Lighting, temp, salinity, etc.....just takes time

I understand completely! I did the same thing....even started a thread about it LOL
I was convinced I was doing something wrong and was killing them.
With fish only tanks I'm all good....but this reef stuff is new area to me too
