How long have you had this coral? New corals take time to bloom ( I assume you know this)
What are the nitrate readings? They don't care for nitrates over 10
This coral likes defused light (plenty of light but not directly on it) and mild/gentle constant water flow.
Moving it around will make it withdraw like it is a new coral, so don't touch it unless you have to.
