how long has your tank been set up, how long have you had this coral, what are your params, what kind of filtration, what kind of light, what type of xenia, and how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

strong random flow,along with good parameters helps.if you have a fish or critter picking at them they will not open.

LOL!!! NICE!!!! Some things never lose their humor.
Sounds like it may be your PH and Alkalinity. That was always the case for me.

what are your parameters like?

Xenia can be finicky for one. But, I suspect your water params might be funny. Check your alk and pH and let us know what they test.
