Default kenya tree lying down

I bought a purple kenya tree this past sunday. when I put it in my tank it flopped over and has stayed that way.I know that is normal but it's been 2 days, how long is normal and should I be worried

Is the base attached to something? What kind of lights are on the tank? What are the water parameters? What ther corals are in the tank? Are you running carbon? What's your filtration like?

...Why?

If you answer the questions I asked, perhaps we can figure out what the problem is.

My kenya tends to deflate when there isn't enough flow. But like scuba said we need to know the condition of your tank and what else is in it to give you an accurate awnser.
