why is my zoa like this. its already been 2 days and they havent all fully open yet. this is the most that the polyps r open
do you guys see any disease or anything or should i just give it more time. i got this at the lfs that only 3 polyps were open. i was thinking it would do good in my tank. and maybe its just their water thats really bad.
sorry for the bad picture. camer phone

You bought it when only 3 polyps were open? if so in 2 days thats good that many are open, they are just adjusting to your tank conditions. Give it a couple more days. If they dont open in a couple days then look up an "iodine/freshwater dip" and do that.

oh ok. thats a good peace in mind for me. cuz they have this corner for discounted price. yea yeah im cheap.
and they have a bunch of zoa colony thats all close. and this is the only one that i think have some chance of surviving. i cant even see the other zoa wat it is. cuz their close

They don't look diseased to me, I'd say just give them a couple more days to adjust to the new tank conditions.
Have you inspected them for Nudi's?
That could cause them to close up.
Check out the Zoa Pest & Disease thread stickied at the top of this Forum.
