Clove polyps.....what am I doing wrong?!


I have some green star polyps(not clove, title is wrong) I purchased last weekend (I believe that is what its called, looks like bright green grass with a white center).

Anyways, the first couple days they didn't open up. Then on the third day they were all open, it looked great. Reminded me over perfectly manicured grass on a putting green.

After that one day they haven't opened.

I checked all my parameters and everything looks great.

Salinity - 1.025
pH - 8.2
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 10ppm
Calcium - 380 (a bit low)
Phosphate - .25
dKH - 11

Any ideas?!? I put a picture of the branch that has the coral on it.

I picked them up about 10 days ago. 3 days after I got them they were all fully open, now I get about 10 or so that open everyday (there are hundreds on the branch).

Its definitely not decomposing or receding in anyway. So I guess that's good, just have to give them more time.


Thanks!
