Is Candy Cane Coral Dead?

I have had them about two months with water reading of SG1.025/8.4 PH/ Nitrite 0 ppm/ Ammonia 0 ppm/ Nitrates 20 ppm. Now the reason I ask this is because the polyps are shrunk and semi hard. I have never seen them this way. I have MH lights in case someone asks.

mine shrink down small and hard after I go to bed..the next day when I turn on the lights..usually about 20min after they are fully blown up again lookin good.

That is what they used to do now they are not inflating after the lights are on. I will take a picture, maybe that will help. I hope I did not lose them. I really liked them.

your candy looks ok to me. if it were dead you would see the skeletin from the polyps. it is probably just sleeping for now. :hilarious
