I got this sweet mini plate coral from macna bright orange with yellow tentacles and its been in my tank since around when macna ended. When i put it in my tank it put its tentacles out right away. After that it hasn't really put them out at all. My paramaters were fine last time i checked and its currently on a rock on the bottom of my tank because of a small red slime problem. Basically what i'm asking is there any way to get it to put out the tentacles like its supposed to. The color looks fine for the most part and I can see where the tentacles should be coming out. Thanks
 
I am not an expert in fungias, but from what i understand they like being on very flat sand beds ideally. Maybe try moving yours onto the sand?
 
Fungias prefer sand beds. And how is the flow, it could be too little... When I moved my fungia into a different spot (with less flow) its tentacles retracted. Whats your lighting?
 
Flow is med to low used to be high but I moved it a while ago. Lighting it t5s and actinics. I had it in the sand for a while but Ill try moving it back
