    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Please post parameters and images.

    Are any inverts or fish bothering the corals?

    Where is it in your tank? How long was your acclimation? Do you dose anything?

    Is there to much flow? Any of those kidns of corals will never come out if they are pounded by flow.

    sorry i took so long to reply
    my params are
    temp 80F
    ammonia 0
    nitrit 0
    nitrate 0
    ph 8.0
    alkalinity 12dkh
    calcium 500 ppm
    phosphates .25 ppm

    i have 72 leds on a 100 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump, protien skimmer
    and fuge i have two power heads in the main display. i used all dry rock (150 lbs) and seeded it with bacteria from a bottle and ten pounds of live rock

    i have two clowns, 3 yellow tail damsels, a royal gramma, and a fire fish. i also added two zoo frags and there not opening either. there not opening either there in a high flow area at the top of the tank. i put the frog spawn at the bottom of the tank in a really low flow area. none of the corals are opening up. i put some marine snow in the tank from time to time and i feed my fish mysis 2 times aday. the fish are doing great. also when my moon lights come on i can see the center of the zoos and the frog spawn glowing so i think there surviving but definantly not surviving. also the frog spawn is primarily brown with green tip used to be solid green with blue tips

    once again thanks for the help
