could they be getting too much flow? my frogspawn and hammer used to retract when they got too much flow, so i pointed it elsewhere. also, 4 hours is still not enough light. halides are like bright sunlight, think how long the tropics get bright day sun...like 6-8 hours at least. my euphyllias take about an hour or two to open up once the lights come on, so maybe you aren't giving them enough time. and for your parameters, i know most euphyllia coral can tolerate higher nitrates, so check your iodide and calcium levels, that might be the problem, although i doubt it is.
