Branching Alveopora

[Murminator]

Does anyone have experience with these?? I bought one yesterday from AI I slow dripped it for 1 1/2 hours, then traded 1/4 cups of water in the pail before I put it in. It just does not want to open up the flower pots peek out all day and the swell up about 1/4 inch but they just wont fully extend (2"). I have tried it low, tried it high, tried high current & low current. Right now it is medium level low current and still no change.

everthing is 0, PH 8.1-8.3 temp 79 sg 1.024 AI sg in the tank was 1.028 thats why the slow drip

Any advice??
