Newb Question - How are my new rics doing

I have a newbie question: How can you tell if the rics are doing ok, and like the spot they are in?

The 3 blue ones came on a tiny rock; however the orange one was not attached to anything. It blew away from where I had set it and fell behind the rocks; I had to move the rocks to get it out. I made the little holder with the bottom of a water bottle. At first it was mostly sand, but I broke up part of some dry rock i had and moved it on top of the little rocks, its having a rough day.... I am hoping that it will attach and be too heavy for the current to move it like the other ric.

My camera sucks and the colors are not very close to what they are. The blue one is bright blue with purple on the edges and teal mouths. The other is blue in the middle and orange on the edges with purple frills.

I posted this over at nano-reefs as well, perhaps someone bewteen the 2 sites can give a good answer.

Attachments

They look normal for newly-added Ricordea polyps. They are extended, just a little tight still.

The things to look for in a healthy polyp are good coloration and extension.

How have they been doing since you posted these pictures? :)
