ORA Hawkins, no polyps?

[shifty51008]

I picked up about 8 frags about a week ago, and all have great polyp extension except for the Hawkins, or does this coral not show many polyps?

Ok thanks, sorry I should have just did the search also. this was just my 1st coral I had that didn't really show polyps, so it was just weird for me.

the ORA Hawkins doesn't really have a lot of polyp extension. They're most visible at night, but typically during the day, I can barely even see mine.

Same here.
Exception is when the make up water via kalk reactor hits it heavy on a day with higher evaporation rate. Then I get a glimmer of PE during the day. Otherwise its flashlight and lights out only time I see it.
