I have a couple acros that the polyps only open at night. This didn't used to be the case. One of them is a Tyree pink lemonade that used to have hella long polyp extension for like the first 6-8 months I had it, but now it only has polyp extension at night. The colors are still as bright as ever and it's still for sure growing but during the day the polyps are closed up tight. It's been like this for over a month now. My water is good and I've been keeping a close eye out for any pests but haven't seen any. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I would have to say its the fish
Agreed, I 2nd this theory. I had a similar issue and discovered it was my foxface (he has since been moved and the corals are much happier)
LOL! Not a bad idea if he's the one causing issues. So for now I'm setting up a 30g half cylinder to put all of my sps in. Hopefully they will start to have the polyp extension they use to. That sucks If it turns out that it is the fish stressing the corals, I get so frustrated trying to get a fish out of the tank.

I had beautiful pieces of pokerstar, sunset and some other unknown pieces that lost all polyp extension. The sunset may be gone for good, but I'm remaining optimistic. He completely ignored my digi for some reason. Once I saw it chomping on my Cali tort he was a goner. Hopefully the pieces recover as the pokerstar in particular is one of my faves. Oh well....lesson learned
