Just wanting some advice if I could. My Duncans wont open. They havent opened for about 4 weeks now. They used to be really happy and looked this this:

Then the tank had a small crash (we are thinking bad batch of salt as all parameters were pretty much perfect and was after a water change) and we lost a couple of corals. We got it sorted really quickly, the parameters are great and now all the corals are extremely happy and growing like mad. But these Duncans have never reopened since that crash.
They are still alive as we lost another Duncan colony in the crash and they were completely gone and bleached whereas this still looks healthy on the outside but they wont come out. I moved them about two weeks ago to see if that helped but they still refuse to come out. Were they just too damaged from the crash and it's a no hope? I know it cant be a water quality issue because, as said, everything else is absolutely thriving. Better than ever and all growing like crazy.
You can see on the top right what they look like now
