i got about 10 zoa frags about a week ago and 8 of them have fully opened. The other two have remained completely closed. I have tried high lighting, low lighting, high flow, low flow, nothing has seemed to work. Any suggestions?
 
I would just give them a little more time. Some zoas just take a little longer to open than others for no apparent reason. Did you dip them before introduction? Inspected for zoa spiders or other pests?
 
agree with salty hog. it takes time for zoas to open up!
 
Sometimes it can take a little while with zoas, so it's not anything to be worried about necessarily. With that said, a dip in Lugol's/Iodine wouldn't hurt (long as you don't overdo it).

I did a dip and mine opened a day or two later.
