I purchased a toadstool about 1 weeks ago. After accimation it was placed in a mod/hig flow area with mod to high lighting. For the first few days it opened very nicely to what looked like full extention, and at time would have 50% to 75% of the polyps open. The last two days it has been much less happy, and kinda fully pulled up. At times it will open up about 50%, but I have not seen the polyp extention. My water it was temp 78, salinity 1.024, calcium 430, alk 9.3, Mg 1300, ammonia/nitrite 0, Nitrate about 5 ppm. At the same time I introduced a favia to the tank which every night has good sweeper extention.
Any ideas what may be going on here? I did decide to lower my light level a little thinking that it is still acclimating and the light my be too bright. I am brand new to corals and could just use some advice.
