That's what I was thinking, liveaquaria.com has pretty good care instructions on their site

 

[Reefman97]

Hasn't opened yet but has short tenticals and bubbles on the end

 

[Darylb]

They might look short at first but they can extend a long way try moving it to a spot with moderate flow and light

What are you using for water, rodi? What is your nitrate reading, added anything recently that could cause a mini cycle?

Yes I'm using rodi water. I checked my calcium and its good. I'll check my nitrate and nitrite.

Ok nitrite is perfect. Nitrate is at like 4ppm.
