torch coral with some heads not doing so good.

[maroun.c]

Hi. got this 9 heads torch coral around 1 month ago. all the heads were opening very well the day I got it except the 3 lower ones. over the first week I noticed they were opening less ecery day with one of them still alive but not opening at all. I can still see some tissue in it till today but it never opens up. these are the 3 lower ones, I tried to move the coral to a higher lit area and it didn't improve moved it to an area with very slow flow as it was in medium flow before and it didn't improve. the other heads are opening as soon as light goes on but those 3 heads are still the same. any suggestions?
Tank is lit by 1 150 w 20K MH and fluorescent marine ultra white and actinic supplementation. water parameters check fine for Ca alk waiting for my MG test kit.
Thanks for any info or suggestions on what else to try other than moving it around.

well mine has good flow. not like blasting flow, but it tosses its tentacles around. perhaps moving it to a bit more flow may help.

also are those heads recieving enough light?

lastly, perhaps you should try feeding it?
