That's normal. I have some on my tank and sometimes they all closed and opens up later.
 
That's normal. It will open up again when it's ready.
 
Ok also why would the other ones be so stiff is it because I have them in to hi flow or is it to hi light or is it just natural
 
If you places the coral in high flow, the polyps should be waving. High lighting will make the polyps more compact and grow lower to the rock. Low lighting will make the polyp more lanky as it stretch out towards the light.
 
Ok thanks for all the hlep
