How long have they been in the tank? How old is the tank?
Many soft corals will periodically close only to open a few days later like nothing happened.
 
Toadstool has been in for a few weeks now. The zoas and mushroom are just over a week in the tank. Tank is still young only 3 months old or so. Should i not be worried then? Just let them be and run their course? GSP and Anthelia are doing great! Some of the zoas polyps are closed and turning white. Could it be too much light for them?
