meteor shower cyphastrea question

I recieved this cyphastrea last week, any reason why the polyps are so small? too little flow? located on the bottom with 14K 150W halides. -->

 

Got nitrates? How are your alk/ca/mag? What kind of flow have you got it near?

 

nitrates are zero, alk is at 11 dkh, ca is at 460. It receives flow from a koralia #4 on the other side of the tank, so low/moderate flow. Polyp extension on all other corals are fully open.

 

If it has only been in the tank for a few days, it may still be adjusting. How about phosphates?

 

phosphates are zero as well, got phosban running

 

I wouldn't worry about it much for another few days if all of your other sps corals are doing well and your levels are ok. If it's still not open after another week, I would try changing the flow or moving it closer to the lights. It's a beautiful piece.
