Looking for some advice sense of this

my 29 gallon has a 250 watt metal halide above it with a 18" 50/50 floresent.

i have it mounted in the top and its intense shimmer effect is light becuase i have it about 2-3 inches from the surface.

 

anyways my coral the one that i have in there a flat rock with some zoanthids on it they are staying closed.

i feed the kents coral plankton and have the light on them all day and i bring them down with a 50/50 only to straight darkness at night

 

i cant figure out why they wont open is my light to close or whats upp i figured they would be florishing with all the light and food are they getting light without opening are they satisfied too easy??
