I got this indonesian scoly from Reefwise almost a month ago. I put it in the sandbed of my tank, where it had moderate flow, and had a rocky outcrop blocking some of the light. Within a day it was opening fully.

It was fine for about two weeks or so. Then one day, it stopped opening up fully. At first I thought it was because I changed a powerhead and maybe it was getting too much/not enough water movement, so I redirected powerheads. I then thought maybe it was too much/not enough light, so I tried moving it into fully exposed light, lowering my lights, putting it in a small cave, etc. I still see tissue on the skeleton, but it isn't opening fully. It also looks like there is some algae growth on part of the skeleton tips. I have a wellso that is doing perfectly fine in my 75, so I even moved the scoly next to it to see if it would help, it didn't. I tried to spot feed but it was too difficult to do in my 75.
Here's a photo of it recessed.

I have since moved it to my nano tank which has less powerful lights, and it is easier to control the water and feed the tank.
Anyone else have any other advice on what to do to get this guy to open fully?
