So I'm very new at saltwater tanks. I just added a new Kenya tree and it keeps falling over and shedding. I've tried putting it in several different places and adjusting water flow. I got it from Petco a week ago and it looked fine at the store. I have no idea if it just need time to adjust. Water is fine. Nitrite 0 nitrate 5-10 ph 8.2 calcium 420

Temp, salinity, alk, ph? Phosphate?

is it in really strong direct flow or a nice easy wide flow? What lights, what intensity and color are you running them at and how many hours per day? What other livestock is in there, inverts and fish. What other corals?

78-79 degrees salinity 1.024 ph8.2 phosphate 1. I have a clown goby 2 zoas and a green Stylo and a pink leptoseris. It's funny cause everything else is open and gorgeous. Imma put it in a lower flow for now and let it sit and wait longer. It's in a low- medium flow with blue light / par around 90 ish. I got a nicrew 50.

Honestly, I would just wait. My Kenya tree will sulk if it’s touched or moved. They are drama queens. If you give it a few days to a week it will perk up when he’s ready. I own a massive one for over a year and that’s normal.
Thanks I'll just have to wait and be patient lol.
