Solid plan. Give it a week to adjust. If it's still closed up, check your water params—sometimes it's not just the flow messing with them.

I've got a Bubble Coral in my 40-gallon tank and the flow seems too strong. The polyps aren't extending fully. Should I move it to a lower flow area or will it adapt?
