Does anyone know why all the tentacles on my clove polyp won't open? Here's a pic from today.

I’d give it a couple of days. My clove polyps will do the same for unknown reasons. I’ve always just assumed something changed that it didn’t like.
 
They have been in the tank for 3 weeks. Maybe my parameters in my water? Here's what they are today. The column with the "s" under it is from that tank

Oh! Sorry. I’m not a coral expert and your parameaters look similar to mine. So my next guess would be it needs more flow or possibly stronger lighting. If you haven’t been there tidalgardens.com has great information on corals.
