Q's about green tree sinularia

I recently got one of these green tree corals and it doesnt seem happy where it is in the tank, I have 2x65w pc's. I want to know if it prefers shade, high flow or what? I know it should be expanding, just doesnt like where its at right now i suspect. thats about 5-6 inches down in a med flow area.

Could it be your water parameters? Also sometimes it takes a few days for them to acclimate. I have mine under 4x150W VHO in moderate to high flow and it grows like a weed

water parameters were off for a few days last week but are all fine now.... last two days it looks like its coming back, the little polyps were re-emerged today and it looked a little bigger...

They are very adaptable to different lighting. Low flow seems to be preferred. So the branches just sway, and arent being forcefully pushed.
