Default not so good button polyp

http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...2_-med.jpg?966

Please review the pic of our sick brown button polyp. We got this on boxing day and for the first couple of days it opened up nice. Since then, this pic was taken today, it hasn't opened up.

ALL water tests are good. Everything else in the tank is doing great.

any ideas or sugestions?

thanks

I know my polyps hate flow or bright light or getting moved. Usually they will adjust to it if you give them time or it's not too extreme.

I move my polys on Jan 6, lower down and insured they have little or no flow on them. They still haven't opened up. They look just like the pic. any other ideas would be great.
water tests are all good. Everything else is looking good

I had issues with mine a while ago and keot trying new locations. I found that they like lower current and down lower in the tank. It still took a week to a week and a half after I touched it last before I got full polyp extension.
