elegance coral question

[dogmajones]

I bought an Elegance coral from a local LFS on 10/3/15. The coral was extremely open at the store, it was in low flow as it is now in my tank, but at the store was under one LED light fixture, and was off to the side and what I would consider low light. I placed it in my tank on the sand bed/low but changing flow, so it tentancles move back and forth. The light it is now under is a 4 bulb 24 in-24 watt t5 lights( ATI bulbs 2 blue + 1 coral + and one true actinic) I took this picture the very next day after I put it in the tank, it is opening nicely, but the tentacles aren't half as long as they were at the store, will the coral adjust to the new lights and extend, should I try lowering my lights, what can I do to see if I can get it to be fully happy in it's new home?

It looks fine to me. You might want to give the coral at least a week to settle in before you start changing anything.

Give it time let it adjust

i could be totally wrong but maybe the longer tentacles were its way of trying to get more light. You are providing it with more light so they aren't as long.

I have several elegance and all the tentacles are a little different. Light and flow will affect it.
