Coral Orientation

Hello everyone,

I've had this yellow coral for a few years, but recently I have found that one stalk does not seem to face up towards the light. It has been facing a different direction continually, and I'm curious if this is something that should concern me. Is the coral okay, or is it perhaps unhealthy? It looks fine, just not facing the "right direction".

I've attached a couple pictures

I'd also like to quickly note that there is a window nearby that may be affecting its orientation, but it's odd that it is only affecting one coral.

My Lobophytum can pretty much re-orient themselves to whatever they want in a few weeks or months. As long as you don't keep moving them they should be fine.

It's just saying "Hi!"

Looks like a healthy coral to me - also evidenced by the fact that you measure how long you've had it in yearS. Keep up the good husbandry
