So I just switched everything from my frag tank to this 20long cause the 20long is pre drilled and has a sump. Did this all Saturday and here it is Monday and most everything is still closed or shrunk down :-( I Dont Know what to do all my levels are where they should be except my calcium is 390 but I wouldn’t think that would make everything close up ? Help !

Did you change your lighting with the move as well? They could just be upset from the move still, it took my toadstool almost a month to open up after switching my tank over. What are all your parameters just in case?

I did change the lighting to 1 T5, it was LED but the frag tank is only 8ins deep and this one is a little bit deeper

Just a single T5 bulb?
 
Yes and still using my led just added a T5
While I cannot imagine that a single T5 would do it, but it's possible the corals aren't used to the increased lighting yet. As long as your parameters are in check, I'd give them a little more time to adapt to the new environment.
