I have these 4 corals in my tank. Still trying to figure out the aquascape. I have had these corals for probably 5 weeks. About a week ago my left one will not open hardly at all. The right one is growing more polyps . Should I just move the left one around my tank to see if it will open up? Not sure what is going on.

Looks like a aiptasia on the backside of the closed up frag. That might be one issue.
Also, I really can't be sure, but I'm looking at that little green frilly thing on the front polyp.
Either just part of the skirt sticking out or it's a nudibranch. I really can't tell. ( old eyes.lol)
 
Add some superglue over that aptasia to stop it from spreading. Ive tried aptasia x but it really doesnt work that well as the superglue.

And what lighting do you have? Its it strong enough for those corals?
 
Here are the perameters

Temp = 80
PH = 81
Ammonia = 0
Nitrite = 0
Nitrate = 0
Salinity = 1.026

Tank has been running for almost 2 months. Stock lights from the fluval evo 13.5. The lights are good for zoa's. I took the coral out and inspected it pretty well. Only thing that was on it was a few pods. There is a small bit of rock on the frag.

The aptasia are nearly impossible to see if you disturb the drag. They shrink to almost nothing. You have to apply the aptasia x or super glue in situ. I’d encourage you to knock it out now before it spreads.
 
I have cleaned off the aptasia and put super glue on it as well. I will post another picture, when I get home from work, if they have still not opened. I moved them back a little towards the rock.
