Picked up and ordered some SPS frags. I have glued them onto my rock and they have been there for about 10 days now.
Posting the photos below. Can you please just give me some feedback on if they look healthy. Thank you!

Any new growth? After 10 days u should be able to see some new growth at least some encrusting
 
Zero polyp extension and looks like zero growth.
Is this in the middle of the photo period?
They look okay but that's not saying much in the health of them. Meaning, they came from the healthy tank but 10 days is not enough in your tank to know if they're still healthy. This is just a snapshot 10 days after they were healthy if that makes any sense to you.
How old is your tank? How was it started? What are your parameters? What lights and flow are you running and settings?
 
They look like 10 day old frags put into a new tank :-) Really too early to tell how healthy they are but you should at least be seeing some polyp extension?
 
Nice range of colors you selected. Are these the first sticks to go in?

Once you answer some of the other questions posed above, we might be able to by setting some plausible expectations. Ten days doesn't assure much of anything when it comes to acropora.
