No Problem for Yellow Dendronephthya, it seems healthy and opened whole day and even opening even bigger after lights off.
Purple with White Polyps Dendronephthya came with coral chip rumble as base and it detached from it, attached it to a small liverock and now appeared limpy and very stressed but still expanding after lights off.

Both Dendronephthya is with me for less than a week.
