Whats wrong with my stylo?

[Sarah1990]

Hi I got this stylo friday and I used a coral dip for 5 mins as per instructions and rinsed it in clean tank water before adding. Some tiny little worm like things came off but I gave a thorough rinse and nothing more was coming off.
On sunday I moved it up higher from the bottom and it looked happy. But I was at work all day yesterday and this morning the polyps arent all opening. Could this be flow/lighting or is it likely to be a pest? The other corals I added all still look happy.

i’d wait closer to a week to move him upwards especially if your lights are strong/stronger than who you purchased the coral from. try moving him back to the sb and see if that’s the prob

Move it back down. Mine are at different levels in tank and all look the same.
Can also be change in flow, salinity issue, low Ph or high alk or recovery from dipping. Stability is necessary making little to no changes while it’s adjusting to tank
