Stylo polyps receeded - could use your thoughts

[Sierra_Bravo]

I moved a rainbow stylo from the shelf you see in the background to a permanent location on the rockwork. The polyps, which have always been fully extended, receeded two days after the move and have stayed pretty much how its pictured. If anything they'll come out a bit towards the top only.

The change in par was an increase from 162 to 176. Parameters unchanged from prior to the move with possible exception of phosphate:

sg: 1.025
Temp: 78.0
Ammonia: 0
Nitrate: 3
Nitrite: 0
ph: 7.99
Alk: 8.4
Calc: 390
Magnesium: 1320
Phosphate: .086 (My GFO is ready to be changed, this usually hovers around 3-4ppm)

Question is: Should I give it a while to see if they open back or would it be better to relocate it back before something gets worse? It's been two days since they closed up.

did anything else change? Is it being blasted by a powerhead? I would give it a few more days to see if it settles in. If it doesnt, I would move it down a bit into lower par, where it was happy before.

My guess would be it has too much or not enough flow now. I have caused RTN in acros by moving them too close to powerheads.
