Need help with Stylophora!!

[FonsecaCorals]

So for the past few months my purple style has been growing well and looking good but the polyps are closed up 24/7. Does anyone know how to improve polyp extension on stylos?

Something changed in the tank?
Parameter?
Water flow?
Lighting?

Pests? Often a sign of pests.

Have you changed the flow pattern or anything regarding water change and dosing schedule? These guys definetly like consistency. You could try to entice the polyps to come out by spraying a little food over its branches.

mine did that in the past when something was wrong with my water chemistry. I usually noticed it most of the time if alk was off.

+1 on the Alk. They won't open up until tank is balanced. I watch mine to keep an eye on my Alk.
