Polyps Won't Extend

Ok I added two new zoa last Tuesday and they still aren't open.

All my labs are fine

I have 150 watt MH

12 Nano

My other polyps are open just not these

Just a question but why a 150 watt MH on a 12 gallon Nano? Just seems a bit much to me. What ever happened to T5's?

how high off of the water is the light?? May need a slower acclimation to the light..

way too much light for 12g. . that's more than 10w/gal. They're in shock because they're getting bombarded.
