OK. Here you go guys. amonia, trites, and trates are all zero. Calcuim is at 400. Dt's every other day of the recommended amount. Seachem reef iodide recommended dose once a week. B-ionic once a week to maintain levels. 20% water change every two weeks. 30 W of light on a 25. Like I said, lights are low, but he is close to the top of the tank, and I have a xenia at the same level that has been doing well for 4 months. Everything in the tank is doing great. All of my corals that I have bought have all perked up and looked better than they did at the LFS including the colt. He looks great, just doesn't stay open past 5 pm.
PS - Please don't lecture me on my lighting, I made a rookie mistake and am now buying a 75g w/ 440W of VHO to solve the lighting problem. I am not the type of person that lets things die and then just buys another. If I buy something it is to keep it healthy and happy for as long as possible.

I don't see what the problem is at all? My colt does what you describe all the time. It is about 4x larger than when I got it 6wks ago, and it has since split becoming 2 separate colts! Go by the growth rate and color and overall health.
Take a look at what's next to it, including any xenia. If there is another coral near it that could provoke this kind of a reaction, but, otherwise, don't worry about it.
I'm sure once you resolve the lighting, everything will be fine.
