Hey everyone!
Over the last 2 weeks we've been having a problem wiht our turbinaria reinformis, we grew it from a small broken off peice, all the sides healed up and started growing great(and fast).
one day we were moving around frags and it got placed at the top of the tank for a day or 2, quite a difference from where it was (mid tank). after moving it back to its original spot a couple days later its polyps stopped coming out, they were usually out almost 24/7 and always eating. its tissue has started receeding also. Any ideas on what we can do to fix this?
Here's where it was placed and was doing really well,
Its dead center in this pic, when we moved it to the top of the tank it was to the right of the green digi. and now we have moved it to lower light in hope that that would help. (its now on the rock under the tang in the pic

And now with no polyp extension and receeding tissue...

Should we move it back up to get more light? leave it where it is? anything else we could try?
Thanks for all your help!
