give it a little bit of time, some corals will take a day or more to open up. How much light does it get in the tank? Also pics are very helpful

Here are the picture of the corals
 
I would want to ask what lighting you have?
Also you have 0 po4 and 0 no3
These guys are like GSP's and like a little nutrients in the water
Bring your no3 up a tad :-)

I have LEDs well GSP don't do well in my tank, so I am guessing this won't open either... And how do you bring up the n03
 
Yup if you can't keep GSP's then the cloves will not also succeed
There has to be a balance of no3 and po4 in your tank to make them happy.
You can dose no3. That will raise it and then feed your fish a little more to get around .014 to .018 po4.
Don't get crazy with it as you might get algae growing.
 
Okay is there a certain brand that is good I unplugged my uv light a while ago cause someone told me my tank is too clean for those type of corals
 
Spectracide stump remover is what I have found to work the best :-)
