Its in a biocube with stock lighting and an extra blue led everything else is doing great these two pieces were put in together the one on the left has all new growth on the side and the zoa has been folded in on itself, very pale, and bright rings around the top when closed. Its been very unhappy the pas few weeks to say the least.

Zoas can close up for days, weeks even months on end if they’re not happy about something. It could be due to something crawling over them, nipping at them or they’re trying to encourage something to clean them. I find my zoas do best on a rock as opposed to the substrate, but that’s just my observation.
 
Dip them in the recommended peroxide dip and then a coral revive product of some sort. Move them to a slightly more shaded area then over the next few days slowly move them back out to a higher lighting area. If you're using LEDS don't have them dead center under a prime, Radion, etc.
