Hi, I'm relatively new to reefing and recently acquired some zoa frags. Three of the four immediately opened up and looked great but the fourth will barely open on occasion. Following the directions of the guy I got them from, I moved it away from the lights but it's been almost 2 weeks and still no change. Also tried varying current. Any suggestions on what to do? I've read a lot of different suggestions in other threads and forums but have only managed to confuse myself more. Water parameters are all good and consistent.
I apologize for the terrible picture.

Leave it alone, let it adjust. Put it near your happy zoas and don’t touch it for at least a week. My blue hornets had a fit when I first got them and didn’t open for 3 weeks, now they are the happiest one and I never moved them. If your other zoas from the same dealer are happy, these ones probably will be too in the same spot
 
Thanks Crusty. That's the best answer I could have hoped for.
 
Allow it to adjust to tank. As long as you provide moderate light and water flow, , , it should come around. making changes will only upset it
