+1 on the parameters
I have both LED lighting and MHs. Most of the zoas I buy are grown under vho or MHs and not used to the LEDs. My whites and actinics on the LEDs are adjustable so as I acclimate new zoas to my tank and they are placed under the LED area of my tank, I turn the actinics up (which I leave on high anyway) and turn the "whites" down to at most 50%. If I'm able to place them under the MHs most seem to do ok (it's a bit bright for some, I use 10K). If your LED aren't adjustable you might consider running the whites on them 1/2 the normal time and as the zoas acclimate, slowly keep them on longer

There are way too many variables that could play with zoas that are not opening.
Like they've said above: please post your params, set up and maintenance schedule, so others can try to help you.
