Hey, just added my corals to my main system about 3-4 days ago. Also, need to say super new to the coral worlds, but I was just wondering if this is normal for these favia or favitas I forget which they are to have the little hole in the middle of them like this. What does it mean, is it stress or they are feeding or pooping? uneducated as frick any help! bad pictures but the bestI could get.

Let it settle and adjust to the new system .
Have you tested water parameters ?

They are likely adjusting to the tank and the one on top may be hungry.
What is age of tank?
 
Hey, thanks for the replies! It is very new about 2 months but the corals got added on the 4th so only a few days ago. Levels are Calcium: 420, Alk: 16, Phosphate: 0.25, Nitrate: 10, Nitrite: 0, Ammonia: 0.1, Salinity: 1.026, Temp: 78, pH: 8.3.
Now with the ammonia was a few days after I added my two clowns, and the ALK I just recently got a RODI unit and am doing 10-gallon water changes a week too lower that, due to me using a RO home system that wasn't doing the job at first.
 
Why is alkalinity so high ?

16 assuming it’s measuring in dkh is insanely high ?
Ideally you want closer between 8 -12
Nsw is around 7 and why I keep mine at 7.5
