i must be scorching mune then the ones on the side of the rock tend to open up for most of the light throughout the day but then when they have had enough they start to shrivel up the one on the top hasen't opened up at all yet, think i will have to try and reduce my lights , i was thinking 1x39actinic & 3x39 whites.

They look good to me - all in all, this is an incredibly easy coral to take care of, if they dont like something 9 times out of 10 it will just adapt.
I think Tangster has referred to them as a pest before now as its not that easy to kill them. Dont worry about them, they'll do fine no matter what!
