I have had these corals for a few weeks, and they have not been opening. My other corals in the tank are ok. I am currently going through a diatom and Coraline bloom, and it is growing on the coral, which i think may be what is causing it to close?

My parameters are ok, i have 2 red sea lights over my 65g, they are at 70% blue and %20 white.

My powerhead is a reef wave 45. Here are photos and a video of my corals. Are they getting to much flow?

Coraline is too slow growing to show up on a coral. At least I've never seen it happen. Listing of parameters, lighting and schedule may help. Water also looks cloudy, so I'm guessing that's the bloom? This can reduce oxygen in the water and irritate coral.
