I picked up several sps frags such as Miami Orchid, Tricolor valida, birds nest and an unknown frag.
The birds nest has its polyps out from day 1, Miami Orchid start having its polyps out, but the other 2 frags, tricolor and an unknows have not show any sign of polyps. This is Day 4 in the tank. Should I worry? Water parameter is stable, Ca 430, Mg 1300 and Alk 8.6 with pH 8.3

Thanks

That valida is looking rough.

I wouldn't worry I've got a couple acros that just don't open with lights on.....frustrating!

do you think the first pic (valida) is a goner?
Thanks
