You're other corals aren't looking that well either. Have you tested the water?

My kenya trees sort of looked like that when I first put them in the tank. I just kept changing the water and placing them closer to the light and they expanded.

THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN AFTER HAVING MY HAND IN TANK. AND MOVING THE CORALS AROUND. BUT THE TREE STILL LOOKS THIS WAY.

I've had mine do this when it is bothered. When I got my first one I think it was about 2 days before it opened up well. Give it some time, if by tomorrow evening it still look bad I would test the water, do a WC if needed.

It might be a flow issue. When I first got mine I had it in a low flow area and it became limp (altho not as bad as your pic). Once I moved it to a medium flow area, it perked up and expanded the polyps...took about an hour so be patient. BTW, anytime it was stressed, it would ball up and look like a head of broccoli. This usually came after I fragged my xenias.

well it is better now it has actually came back around. i actually no disrespect moved it to the lower area of my tank, out of the flow. i do not believe that is what did it. i believe that rinsing my filter pad is what did it. thanks to the few that responded.
