My "nepthea" is suffering from a bad case off hangover?

I have now moved it to the strongest possible flow, itīs a little better but doesnīt want to stretch out and erect.

It seems like it canīt stand up when it has itīs polyps out itīs a little better when the lights are out and the polyps are gone any ideas whatīs wrong with it?

Just for the record i have had it 3 weeks and only 4 days at the new position!

The Nepthea seems to get "better" itīs standing straight up as soon as itīs dark? it seems like the whole coral get shorter and thicker! But as soon as itīs in the light it starts hanging again.


Im think about bying a Cataphyllia from australia do you guys think it can live under my 27watts of Led i think it will ber 12 inches from the light source!

A little update.

I went for the purple tip Cataphyllia.
got two lysmata wurdemanni (Tank breed)
and a small Star. (Blue gray) that borrows in the sand but respond to my feedings. so i hope that i can keep it alive.

updated FTS. with the tiny star and Cataphyllia the Shrimp is in hiding. (the Cataphyllia is a little bit sad but itīs only been in the tank for an hour ;) )
