    When should I move a coral if i think they are not getting enough light? I think i killed my strawberry wine polyps moving them too much. Does anyone follow any sort of timeline (like leave them for a week then move if not opening)?

    i've had polyp and zoas stay closed for 2-3 weeks sometimes. just leave them be and they'll open eventually, once they calm down from the tank to tank move.
