Do you ever catch them with their mouths open?

Ideally but to entice them place a little food on top of them at night. Most LPS should be fed regularly for long term health, but spot feeding can become less important as a tank becomes established and populates with zoo-plankton among other things.

I did a water change 2 days ago. Nothing really change except my elegance seems to have shrunk

This is not the place to talk about water changes, post pictures or chat elsewhere.
