I just got this and now some of the branches are closing:

Is it maybe in to much flow?

try moving it down some. They are very suseptable to brown slime...watch it carefully.

Could be a change in lighting, etc, or general issues. My branching torch coral is in somewhat lower flow, so perhaps that's an issue, too. I wouldn't worry too much if you've had it less than a week or so.
