Kenya Tree (?) Shrivled

I bought a tank complete (LR, sand, fish, coral, critters, etc.) and It has been up for about 3 weeks now and everything seem to be doing well except my Kenya Tree (at least that is what I think it is). It has never fully opened and mostly looks like the pic attached.



Can anyone tell me what might be going on?

Specs:

Temp: 80°F
pH 8.0
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
SG 1.023
Calcium 420
dKH 6
Don't have a Phosphate test kit

Dose:
Essential Elements - 1 cap full per week

Feed:
Zooplex
Liquid Gold

Lighting:
2 @ 65w Coralife 10000K PCs
2 @ 65w Coralife Actinics

Placement:

About 4" from top w/ mild water flow.

Tank:
75g Reef w/fish

Frogspawn, Pulsing Zenia and mushrooms doing well.

Thank you for your help.

6500K's are not actinics, and those coupled with the 5500K lamps wont do much for your corals but algae will LOVE them. 6 dkh sounds a little low, try slowly bringing that up to 9-10 and see what happens. Have you tried moving the kenya tree around at all? It could be as simple as your coral is not happy about its current lighting or flow situation.

I mistakenly put "6500K Actinics". They are Coralife 65w Actinics. I corrected it in the post. I also removed the 5500k "grow lights" from the tank.

I have tried a few places for the location of the coral, but so far tit acts the same. I will try something different and see what happens.

 

how long has it been like that? mine will do it occasionally.

one thing i see... if you're not testing for what's in this, you may be overdosing things like iodine
