Assuming your parameters are within reason, it might just be due to too much flow. I'm guessing you just moved it down in the tank, from the frag rack to the bottom? I don't think the difference in lighting would cause this. Have you tried feeding it? IMO, it doesn't look too bad. I wouldn't panic just yet.

I did feed it once or twice, whenever I see its feeding tentacles out. I can't imagine its too much flow, it's in a low flow corner of my tank. I did 2 10% water changes on Saturday and it seems to have started to perk back up but its just not like it was when I first got it. I'll try to post a pic from tonight when I get home

I feed mine every other daya mysis or couple pellets. seems to like it and blows up the day after. Try giving it some meaty pellets or mysis.

I agree it doesn't look that bad. Definitely feed it if it will take food. It should display a feeding response once food is placed on the coral but they are slow eaters. If not, wait until the lights go out and feed it then.

I never tried to feed it unless the feeding tentacles were out. Maybe I'll try to place some mysis on it and place a cup on top to keep the fosht and shrimp from stealing it. I'll see if it responds to eating it.
