i don't feed my corals very often, maybe once every 3-4 weeks. Since I got my alveopora, I have not fed the corals, till last night.
I used the reefroids, like normal. Put it in the tank and I observed for a bit. Once the cloud decreased I noticed the Alveoporas did not open back up. I didn't think too much about it, maybe it takes them to digest the food, if they do. I just got home and noticed that they are still closed up. Barely open.
They are either in a food coma, or they are ticked that I tried feeding them. I am not overly concerned yet, but I am certainly monitoring. The rest of the corals are open and seem to be back to normal.

Has anyone else experienced this when it comes to alveos?

I don't have experience with these, but I do with gonis, and gonis go through mood swings.

I think it looks okay to me.

Tank parameters are good?
