Zoas always closed?

I need to test it but over the weeks that this has been happening, nitrates have been 5-10 and phosphates 0.01-.02. I have two torch corals, a frogspawn, gsp, two candy canes, and an acan in the tank and they are all open and happy. These guys have always been weird. When I first got them they took a while to open and after about 5-7 days were fully open. The hermits then started crawling on them and caused them to fall off their spot and that’s when they started closing up. Ended up getting a frag rock holder now so they can’t fall but only have a couple polyps opening.
 
What kind of zoas are them? I’m having the same issue with candy apples
Not quite sure. Here is the photo when the opened the most up.

Those are eagle eye zoas. Sometimes zoas can do poorly while other colonies do well right next to them. Seeing that the others are doing well I would not make any changes to the tank.
Thanks for the ID. Will add that to the build thread so I can track all the inhabitants.
