They staying like this for a few months, looked fine and opened everyday. There was little growth however.

I started target feeding with ReefRoids maybe 3-4months ago and the difference is amazing. Visible growth, larger polyps and a richer color. Each feeding the polyps close around the food and when they open their mouths/bellies are puffed up and happy looking.

I'd have to say there is a markable difference when spot feeding
Are you target feeding or broad cast feeding? Do you think they have grown more because they are now used to your tank? Have you stopped feeding to see what happens? Could the polyps just be irritated when you feed them?
