I had some for a while.. they rarely wanted to open.. i could tell they were shrinking so i started fighting hard. got most of them to open up after a couple weeks of feeding. kept that up for a month or so.. missed a few days as i was to busy with work, and it was back to square one. so i gave them away to someone that could bother to feed them every day heh.
someone with more experience can chime in, but when they were really hurting i would pull them out, or shut all flow off to that tank<20g fuge/fragtank> and make a mix of really thick reef roids, frozen cyclopeze, mushed up mysis, whatever i had from feeding everyone else and pretty much smother all the polyps with it, just leave it sitting where the tentacles will eventually come out. and just leave it until its finished eating, then put it back where it was or turn the flow on again.
other times i would just put a bit of food in the water or on the coral to get them to open up, ie come back in 10-30 mins then feed them then.
once they fatten up all these problems seem to go away, its just when they are really hurting.
