I have both for about 3 weeks and the Toadstool is a Neon green and the green has never opened since i have had it. And the Duncan just opens when the blue lights are on.. I have LED's and my levels are as follows, but when the white lighs come on the Duncan closes and the Toadstool still does not open the green on the ends of the tenicles.

Please Help

I'd say your water is to clean for those corals.

sounds like lights are to strong but if all your numbers are 0, I would get new kits or your tank is new and hasnt cycled?

If the Duncan only opens with your blues on, is it possible that your lights are too bright?

First thing and easiest to correct. Nitrates are low but that is not the cause of your problems. Your water perimeters are fine guessing the first one is salinity. How long have you had them and is there any other corals looking bad or looking good? Not into LEDs but many can be dimmed. If not move them to a shade area.
