Default Button polyps

Hi everyone, recently my button polyps have rolled their edges and are not open to the point of showing their "hairs". Here are my stats and such;Fish; 3 Green Chromis, 1 Coral beauty, 1 Yellow fin Damsel (a little cranky) and 1 Royal Gramma
Corals; 1 large Toad stool, 1 Colt, Many button (Palys'), 1 Cabbage, 1 sun/with Green stars, and 1 mushroom rock. Also, Halemeda algae.
Mag = 1280, Calc = 400, Alk = 11 dkh, Ph = 8.2 and Sg = .025
Lights are; Nova extreme T5 (10,000k daylight and 420 Actinic) and 2 Power bright LED strips. Lights are on for 10 hours.
Tank is 55 gal. with built in corner over flow, Mega flow 1 sump and Coralife super skimmer, also a Poly multi media Phosphate reactor.
Any help is appreciated.

How close are they to your lighting?

Is it just one colony? Are your other corals looking wierd? What are your parameters? The reason I asked about how close they were to the lighting, is because I have one colony that seems to be on the opposite schedule than the rest. They have gotten themselves too close to the light. The more info we have on the scenario, the easier it will be to help. Too much info will be better than not enough.
