Is this normal?

[Red_Fisher23]

My Kenya tree was awesome for the first week I had him but for the past two days its been kinda droopy and miscolored looking? Anybody have any experience with this im not sure if I should move it or not.

Assuming your parameters are within reason, it's normal.. They'll shut down like that from time to time. No worries.

okay all other corals are fine except the Kenya and some star polyps which are on the same piece of rock

looks like you have a significant amount of light over it.

what kind of lighting do you run and did you acclimate it?

a dual H.O T5 I moved it to a different place in the tank just a little lower because it looked like it was bleaching a little bit

I don't think they're bleaching. Those Kenya trees and the GSP are almost bulletproof. They just need a little time IMO.

I put my Kenya Tree frags right on my frag rack, which is a couple inches from the water's surface, right under my LEDs. Kenya's generally don't care how much light you blast them with, as long as it is enough.

When they shed they get rather pale. Sort of like a very washed out version of their normal color. The shape of that one looks about right too for shedding.
