I have 3 BTAs and they are not opening. They wander around a bit but other than a peek to open a tiny bit they dont extend their arms.
I think PAR was about 250-300 where they are.
 
Something isn't right. How long have you had them? Have you looked at them when the lights are off?
 
Ive had them for about 6-7 months and they used to puff up real big and have beautiful arms. With the lights off they look the same. I have soft and hard corals that are looking great but these guys don't like something and I cannot figure it out.
