Star polyp not opening

[cmiani2002]

My star polyps have been closed for the past 3 days, maybe four.
Pretty much right after I added a Bubble tip anemone to the tank.
They seem far apart, but....could that be the problem?
Also, as of yesterday, the Nitrate are kinda of high in my opinion, 20ppm......

Suggestion? beside wait it out

what would be a sign they are dying??? or sick???

If the mat starts to fall apart like wet bread crumbs then that is a bad sign.

I had this problem before, my ph was too low. It fell to 7.4 or 7.6, brought it back up to 8.0 and wala they opened.

Don't bring the ph up too fast though.
