Closed Zoas finally opening after 3 months

[frank2818]

I picked up 4 Zoa frags from my LFS 3 months ago. Took them home acclimated and dipped them. One of the frags closed up tight and refused to open. I moved it to low light, high light, low flow, median flow and high flow nothing worked I even redipped it and tried everything again. I finally set it and let it be I really just gave up but I didn't remove the frag because the polyps were firm and looked healthy just closed tight. I just come home from a 7 day vacation and the 3/4 of polyps are opened.

The point is never give up on those Zoa frags not opening.

I worried about mine too the other day didn't open up until later that afternoon I was panicking about my water condition and checked it 3 times thinking SOMETHING had to be going bad. Glad to hear yours are opening!

I had some Green Monster Paly's that spent 3 months closed up. But I left them alone since they weren't melting. They now open fully and grow a new head every few days.
