They should be on the bottom of the tank, do not put on rock as they are not found like that in the wild. Keep in moderate to low flow and same for lighting. If flow is too strong, it won't open up as well. Try sliding just under a ledge or such to lower lighting on it as well. Trachy's and Scoly's do best in such settings. See Borneman's book on corals for where corals are found in natural locations and then place accordingly.

Problem with ordering off websites is you never know the bulbs they are shot under and how different that can make a coral look.
