clove polyps

Anyone reason for clove polyps to stay retracted for extended periods? I added a frag last Sunday and they opened for a few days, but have remained closed since around Wednesday. Currently in a low flow/medium light area of the tank. For comparison, all other corals (green hammer, GSP and...

Have some nice golden clove polyps that are very pretty...but also grow like a weed. So far they seem to luckily be growing around my corals, but this growth is too explosive. I thought removing them would be a breeze but their web is harder to remove than I expected. Any suggestions?
