I got some zoas today that were in shipping for a day longer than they should have been. They were packed with oxygen and seemed to be in decent shape when I got them, but they seem to be somewhat translucent (I can see through part of them).

What are their chances of survival? I have read elsewhere that this is bad. One of the frags is partially opening, and another is seemingly melting. The others seem to be between these two stages. Is there anything at all I can do? I did an lugols dip and placed them at the bottom of my frag tank, partially shaded, in a lowish flow area.

All but the one appear in tact.... I am very hesitantly optimistic, but this is only the third or so time I have gotten zoas by shipping...
