With absolutely no information about your tank it is impossible to even guess what the problem might be.
We Need (at a minimum): tank size age of system amount of Live Rock lighting reactors skimmer sump use of ro/di water actual water parameters (salinity, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, Calcium, Alkalinity, Magnesium - and numbers, not "They're all good") other inhabitants and a picture or two would help as well

Flow and light, by me...I've had one limping along in a low-flow situation, gave it the by-flow of a Maxspect Gyre 130 at 60% and it's perking up and puffing out.

Candy cane corals can be quit stubborn. Where is yours placed at? My candy cane coral opened after a couple days, but my peppermint coral took over a month.

Mine is low in the tank with medium flow and does well.

I thought mine was dying off, got it as a sort of rescue. After about two weeks I happened to see it after midnight when the lights were out and I noticed it had its feeders out. It took almost three weeks before I saw any inflating during daylight hours.
