what kind of fish you have and inverts?something may be picking at it..

they are pretty much cave corals like the chilli..next to no light..

how much flow at it?

it may be a case of something irritating it..

mine does not open much, but sometimes it goes into "hiding" and I move it to somewhere with less light, and it become better.
