I agree with BurnNSpy, water flow is important for star polyps. I keep mine in areas of my tank that recieves the most current. Hard surging current works best for me but a steady flow that keeps all the polyps moving also works well. I would also dose iodine. As with anything new it usually takes a few days for them to acclimate and open fully.
