Zoas stuck on “open”

[Zeal]

So as you can see in the pictures below I have a couple zoas in my tank that are stuck in the same position.

Im at odds some people say too much light other say too little light. Im honestly not sure what could be going on.

Below I attached my parameters from today. All of my corals seem fine except these zoas that just refuse to fully open

My nitrates are at 28 and my Zoas open and close with my light. 15 is not your problem
My Parameters as at yesterday
PH 8
ALK is 9
Last check on CA/Mg
CA was 420
Mg 1400

I know 15 is not the problem. Was just providing the parameters in case someone else ask

I got similar issue with GSP lately. Used to open and move in the flow really well and I'm lucky if it opens. Meanwhile the purple star polyps has never failed me

For zoas being beginner corals they are touchy.

Very. Just for some odd reason these won’t fully open.

I suspect it’s my light but idk

Flow and light seem to play a big role. If they never opened fully try moving them down in lower light.

Flow is good for sure light could be either too much or too little. The area they are in right now is pretty high.

the 3rd pic the zoas have been in that spot since mid janurary and still nothing

I suggest moving to lower light

The ones on the frag rack are in pretty low light to begin with

I suggest moving to lower light

Anyone else got any ideas?

Do this and maybe less flow

Do this and maybe less flow

Done area has little flow

Not sure how much it would affect it but to me your calcium is a little high to my knowledge.

That said, I would move to lower light and give it a couple weeks

I've been looking for purple star polyps for months, do you know where I can find some or will you sell me a frag lol?

Not locally for you unfortunately. I'm in Australia.
