Umbrella Coral questions

I bought an umbrella coral last Sunday so its been in the tank for 5 days. *Its canopy is open, but it is still laying down and not standing erect. *Any thoughts, does it look healthy?

I'd be tempted to move it up closer to the lights.

I was thinking of doing that today. Funny in the morning before I leave for work and the lights just come on it looks like the coral is picking itself up and is going to stand up. But then I come home for lunch and its right back down. I will move him higher and see what happens.

Is your toadstool doing better Sken?

The toadstool is doing much better. I moved him from the bottom of the tank to the middle and there wasn't much of a change. I then moved him towards the top of the tank and now it is doing much better. Standing erect and all its polyps are out.

Thanks for the advice Matt.
