My "nepthea" is suffering from a bad case off hangover?

I have now moved it to the strongest possible flow, it´s a little better but doesn´t want to stretch out and erect.

It seems like it can´t stand up when it has it´s polyps out it´s a little better when the lights are out and the polyps are gone any ideas what´s wrong with it?

Just for the record i have had it 3 weeks and only 4 days at the new position!

The Nepthea seems to get "better" it´s standing straight up as soon as it´s dark? it seems like the whole coral get shorter and thicker! But as soon as it´s in the light it starts hanging again.


Im think about bying a Cataphyllia from australia do you guys think it can live under my 27watts of Led i think it will ber 12 inches from the light source!

A little update.

I went for the purple tip Cataphyllia.
got two lysmata wurdemanni (Tank breed)
and a small Star. (Blue gray) that borrows in the sand but respond to my feedings. so i hope that i can keep it alive.

updated FTS. with the tiny star and Cataphyllia the Shrimp is in hiding. (the Cataphyllia is a little bit sad but it´s only been in the tank for an hour )
