So I bought a few high end zoas from a guy that came in last Tuesday one being a flaming Mohican, all the others have opened but I can't get this one to open for the life of me. I grow lots of ultra high end zoos and sps and rarely have this problem. The guy told me high light and med flow and I've had it in all conditions and also have dipped it in coral rx. Any suggestions?
 
I would give it a few more days. From my own experience, sometimes it takes some species a bit to adjust.
 
As I'm sure you know Mohicans are tough. Some friends and I did a group buy last spring. 7 out of 10 never opened after shipping and melted out. Of the three I kept one colony started having problems outta the blue. I've tried both Furan-2 dips and lugols. They're just tough and it seems like once they start to fold its tough to turn them around. If they're in good water flow and light probably less is more.

Yeah I know they are tough but I have lots of rare tough zoas and very good stable water.
