    Give it some time. Probably having a bad day. Maybe there is nothing wrong with it at all and you might make it worse if you move it.

    Just like people all corals have good days and bad days. If it has been doing well up until today, just leave it. Don't worry about it!

    Plate Feeding

    I feed my short and long tentacle maybe once a week. You can even do every other. I was feeding them too much and then I got an algae breakout which I fixed now with light feeding.
