If the others have already opened up your tank should be fine, just give it time. My zoas opened up after a day and have been going strong since then.

Assure its receiving moderate water flow and no sediment is on them. Give it GENTLE bursts with a turkey baster and you will see stuff fly off if present.
If continues, give it a Peroxide dip

I've had success in the past just breaking the plug up into a smaller piece. This is then easier to attach in a crevice and hide. Obviously over time the colony would conceal the plug anyway but it looks better in the short term.
The plugs I've got have been quite a soft material.
