7 months into this tank and these look healthy too me but I’m not sure. Nitrate stays around 10 phosphate has been from .01-.02. I keep calc between 400-450. Mag between 1250-1350.

I had a urchin so I’m thinking that’s why they are white in some areas?

As a note the torch was out but I scrapped the glass before the picture. I have a small amount of hair algae right now as. Waiting for turbos to get to them.
 
They don’t look bad or on the verge of dying. All tentacles are out and I can’t see any reseeding on either. Nothing to worry about here
 
They look like they might not like the flow too much, but definitely healthy.

There appears to be recession of tissue where the polyps meet the skeleton where slime like material would overlap the skeleton. Assure calcium is Not lower than 400 plus Phos level not elevated, light not too bright and flow not aggressive. Polyps should wave in the current but not be bent over the skeleton.
