I have tried moving them around the tank and that doesnt seem to help either. I was under the impression these are a relatively quick growing coral. Parameters are in check. Any ideas?
Dont bother feeding them, if they eat anying it is disolved organics. Just give them lots of light and good flow and leave them be. make sure they are touching a rock or flat surface so they have room to spread. A little bit of iodine may help but be careful not to overdose.
