Inside out Zoas?

[SmoothSmoke]

Just recently purchased this frag from a fellow member here. Miami Vice frag. They came looking like this. I figured it was from shipping or acclimating to a new tank. What causes the polyps to look almost as if the middle is stretching high?

All my params are in normal ranges.

They are on the sand bed under led's.

Hey there! Looks like someone else had the same problem. There's a discussion going on here if you want to check it out. https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162756

I know mine tend to do that if they get ticked off by something.

Well they got worse. The one polyp in the pic furthest back has practically reduced its size in half while being inside out. Not sure what can cause this to happen.
