Default xenia frag not pulsing in new tank

I got a xenia frag from a local reefer yesterday, it was pulsing in his tank. Put it in my tank, after a 2 hour drip acclimation, and it has stopped pulsing and doesn't look too good. Some polyps are retracted, there is no pulsing. Is this normal in the first few days?

It was under T5's in the other tank, and I have T5's as well. It has moderate flow.

Whats your PH at ? You get better pulsing when on the high side, over 8.1.
