Hello. I need some advice/tips. I had my tank up and running for about 8 months before I upgraded to a slightly bigger tank. Its been about 4 months now since the tank transfer and there are 2 corals that doesnt seem to want to fully open or fully extend like they use to in my old tank. They dont look bad or unhealthy, they just dont open like they use to. Ive tried everything from moving it to different spots with less light, less flow, more flow, more light , higher area etc… Still the same. I cant seem to figure out what the problem is, its strange because all of my other corals seems to be doing perfectly fine and looks like they are thriving. Even my torches And sps. Its just those 2. My goni and duncan. Ive attached before and after pictures(Thats the most they extend). Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

They appear to be healthy based off the polyps alone. But I would stop moving them. IME LPS are very timid when it comes to relocation, especially multiple moves. I would let them be for a couple weeks and see. I had a goni and a frogspawn that closed up after a rescape and looked gone, but a month later they we happy and the euphyllia had a new head.
