Star Polyps Placement
I had my nice rock of star polyps about 2/3 way up under MH lighting and pc's the first day and they opened really nice. Now they don't open and I am assuming a shock from high lighting(my fault). I have moved them down to the bottom of the tank standing up with one end touching the sand! Current is low to medium. Any other suggestions? I know these are suppose to be hardy and occassionally blow stuff off them!

I just put a colony into my 55 and put them almost at the bottom. I run PC's and 1 NO 10K and within a few hours the whole colony was open and looking great. 3 days later they look even better than they did at the LFS, where they were under halides. Maybe try to get them into a shady area near the bottom out of the direct line of fire from your lights.
Good luck and HtH
