Candy cane coral split question

[CoralFragAddict]

I have had these candy cane corals since they were little and they usually are puffed out nice but lately they have been stressed and small, just those two the others look great, is it possible they are stressed from separating from each other? My water parameter are good too. Just look for the two in the middle of the bunch you'll see what I'm talking about,

Thanks reef central!

Try blowing them off a bit with a turkey baster. Mine collect sand that is suspended in the water column because of my Hector's goby sifting sand. He grabs a mouthful and gets up off the sandbed about 4-6 inches or so and lets the sand out over his gills collecting whatever it is that he wants to eat. So I constantly have to use my turkey baster blowing off my corals. LOL but he's such a cool fish I don't mind doing it. So give the baster a try and see if some of that white stuff doesn't blow off and they will open better for you.
