So I have some corals that have gone through a lot over the past 2 months, especially my zoas. The first thing that happened was I added additional lighting. I made the rookie mistake of increasing too much too fast and my zoas and some of my other corals did not appreciate it. Then, about a month later, dinos. Everything was mad. Fortunately, I beat it about a week or two ago. Things are starting to look a lot better, but there is one zoa that hasn't opened any of its polyps in 2 months which is concerning. Three of them are opening, but still a little closed and not fully extended. One of them, which I got a few days ago is perfectly happy (as of now at least). Is there a way to get the zoa that hasn't opened to open and is there any way to get the other zoas looking back to normal? Is this a matter of time before things start looking better on their own?
 
Place them in a shaded area and give them a peroxide or iodine dip if needed

Pic 1: Bowsers that have been closed for 2 months

Pic 2: Citrus Coolers/Sunny Ds that are starting to open back up, but are not fully opening

Pic 3: Illuminati Zoas that are doing the same thing as pic 2

Pic 4: Gatorade Zoas that are doing the same thing as pics 2 and 3

Pic 5: New Zoa that is fully extending

Can anyone tell what’s going on from the photos for I can treat correctly?
