Noob coral talk

Ok so I’m new to the saltwater hobby but really loving it.  Starting to think my Duncan coral I just got  is becoming my favorite. 

Question I bought a 2 head purple hammer which is very small each head when opened is around 1” maybe little bigger. But then I got it it was big and fluffy in the sand bed of my 14g but fell off the clay peace It came on. Now I have it laying on the rocks in my 36g and it kinda lays flat don’t puff up looks healthy tho growing new tenticals. Just wondering why it’s not puffy now without the algae that’s a old pic in the 14gwhen I first got it

Im having this same issue with my my duncans. Ive had it for almost 5 months and have had negative growth. 

 

But ive had issues with my parameters. Check your water quality, phosphates as well. I take my tank water to my lfs every 2 weeks to test everything. (I dont have a lot of tests)

My Duncan coral has came out crazy in the 5 days I have had it it looks amazing and all my other corals seem to be doing fine I can piss my frogspawn off and it comes back out perfect   I’ll have to get some tests

Can’t really tell by the pic but this rock setup has lots of big holes / caves for the fish to swim through some really big circles are the caves the to in the middle are huge swimming sports
