New frags some open some not.

[ClownWrangler]

Hi. These are my first frags. I’m new to corals but have about a year so far with my SW tanks. I don’t have a par meter, but placed a makeshift frag rack where it gets moderately low flow and slightly closer to the light than my BTAs.

Rainbow interstellar
Armor of God
Utter Chaos
ultra fireworks clove
Pink blue ORA flowerpot
Metallic green flowerpot
branching GSP
candy cane

All of the zoas opened up nicely the first day in spite of being cut that day. The candy cane frag even opened up and took some brine shrimp which was pretty cool. The Metallic Green flowerpot opened up just fine, but the Pink blue ORA flowerpot has not nor has the branching GSP. Should these be opened by now? Could it be a light or flow issue? The branching GSP looked like a little bonsai tree at the frag shop. Now it looks like dead stump. The first picture is from day one (Saturday) and the second from today after I moved the branching GSP and flowerpot to the lower light side of the rack to see if it helps.

Temp: 76

pH: 8.1-8.2

nitrates: <10ppm

Patience, grasshopper. Patience.

As stated, you have to give them some time. Each frag will adjust to the new surroundings at its' own speed.

As previously mentioned, just give it some time and they should open, they need time to adjust. I've noticed that gonis can take a little longer to adjust than other corals

GSP can get testy when you move It. Mine took like a week to open. Be careful not to feed your candy canes too often it can cause them issues. I feed mine every few days.

also, zoa will usually open before anything else. They’re basically bulletproof until you get up to super high end ones like white zombies or little shop of horrors.
