Help with Zoas

[Yvi]

I purchased these on Saturday and most of them opened up pretty nicely. Well as of today the majority of them are closed. This is not the first colony of Zoas that doesn't make it in my tank. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

What are your water parameters? What light are you using? What light were they under before you bought them?

New zoas can take a while to get used to a new system, especially if the lighting varied in the previous system. I wouldn't worry unless it goes on longer than a few more days, more of them start closing, or you see any form of algae, fungus, or other things covering them. I.e, if they start getting a brownish film on them, then you have a problem.

They were under LED's and I have them under LED's now.

Okay, thank you. I will give them a few more days and see how they do.

Were they shipped? If so then I definitely would worry too much. If you picked them up and drove 5 minutes I would keep a close watch.

I picked them up and drove about an hour.
