Hey reefers I have a couple lps/softies in my tank hammers, zoas, torch candy cane coral I’ve had them for a couple months and no growth. I’ll add my levels they been stable testing every week. I have a par meter and for the coral it’s in the range, running 2 Nero7, 2 mp40 lights 2 hydars26 1 Radion xr30 pro tank is 60x30x24

The parameters seem fine, what are the par levels? Most similar threads come down to low lighting. I run halides and I will swear that corals love bright light and will grow like weeds. Led light folks are always so concerned to turn up their lights.

How old is the tank?
These are all things that take months to grow. It’s not a fast process. Check pics when you first put in the coral and again at 6 and 12 months to see if growth occurred

Ask formulator he knows it all
 
Couple of months you should have some new heads at least
I’d do an icp and see a breakdown of what’s in your water or if your doing water changes consider increasing the percentage , something might be out of whack you can’t test for
