Hello everyone so this is my first time having clove polyps and they’ve looked limp is this a sign of them dying? Or is this how they look closed? I was under the impression they suck in the polyps and close other than limping over like this any suggestions would be great.

What do you mean by supplemental? I've got two hydor power heads that alternate and pulse and I have them left and right side and then the 4 heads the push water back into the tank from the sump.
Just what you described. I can't tell if they're "drooping" or just look that way between wave pulses.

They shouldnt be getting pushed down by the small amount of flow I have on them currently seems like there standing a little better today. First time having clove polyps so I am unsure of the behavior they give when acclimating.

However they have not fully opened quite yet. I can see orange coloring on them even though not fully opened up. I am assuming this is a good sign.
