    Here is a pic comparison from two days ago (left) and 10 minutes ago (right). The angle is slightly different but as you can see the largest, most open polyps from the other day are barely opening. They've been like this all day today, is this something to be concerned about? Or do you think they will open up again eventually? Or do they just not have enough room to open on that small plug?

    Thanks! Just wanted to make sure, it made me nervous and I'd like to catch anything that might be wrong as early as possible. I tested everything I have tests for and it's all good.

    dkh - 9
    ammonia - 0
    nitrite - 0
    nitrate - 0
    pH - 8.1
    Calcium - 400
    Magnesium - 1200
    SG - 1.025
    Temp - 78.4


    cal/mag could probably come up but I think it's good enough for zoa/GSP
