Symphillia not fleshing out

[Susan Edwards]

I've had this coral since beg. of August. It has never fleshed out. It gets a bit of flesh showing after lights out but never fully. I've also never seen feeding tentacles. I put pellets or frozen food on it and it just gets blown away.

I had it on the bottom, moved it up 2/3's, looked worse, back down. Have moved it under an overhang. Seemed not as good. Moved it back up a few weeks ago, not quite as high as before. Fleshes out a bit at night but just doesn't seem to be doing well no matter where I put it or for how long.

All other corals are thriving. Currently putting together pics of when I first got and now to put in my build thread. Some are doing amazingly well.
Am: 0, Nitrites: 0 Nitrates: 20ish, PO4 .1-.2 as a rule, MG 1300 though a bit low now. Moving it back up. CA 400, Alk 8-9

Pics of when I first got it and currently. Just not sure what to do with it or if it was near dead when I got it and it's a lost cause.

This month. this is the most flesh I see on it.Taken lights off, maybe early morning And not everyday. It is the best so far in this position. Never fleshed out this much anywhere else. But that is it. Lights come on and recedes.

Pic just now taken. This what it looks like every day with lights on and even on the sand bed during day

I had trouble with mine for a while...seems to like low indirect light, almost shaded

@Friday24 I had mine on the bottom and even under a bit of an overhang after someone suggested shading it a bit. It did nothing. I moved it a couple weeks ago back higher.. I guess I could try somewhere else 5-6 inches lower but higher than the sand bed. I hate to keep moving it but not sure what to do at this point. If it was doing good it'd be a pretty coral. Waiting to see if anyone else chimes in
