Hey everyone!

So really at a loss on this one, but got these clove polyps about 2 months ago and they've been great open and out. About a week ago they closed up for some reason and I thought may have something to do with lighting as I was already looking to upgrade. Switched lights and still haven't seen them opening up.
Nothing else has changed with the tank since then.

Parameters have been good and everything else in the tank has been really happy and doing well. Any suggestions?

Can post pics later if needed.
 
When this happens to me the first thing I do is check for parasites. Second see if any other tank critters are bothering it. It may just be dormant for a bit. I’ve seen gsp do it for months at a time.
 
Don't think I have anything that would be going after them in the tank. No nipping fish or underfed crabs. I'm gonna try and do a dip this weekend and see if that helps. Not sure what parasites are prominent for cloves, but definitely will look for any with the dip.
