Is this a Zoa?

Title says it. Also, last night it seemed to have opened up a bit with the lights off but when I turned the lights on this morning it immediately closed. Too much light or just part of the acclimation process? I put it on a lower less lit rock after seeing it close.

No, those are Micromussa Lordhowensis. They are also known as "acans" and "lords" in the hobby. They tend to do well in medium to lower-medium light, pretty much any flow except being ripped from their skeleton, and target feeding of meaty foods (like Mysis) though it isn't required. They aren't quite as peaceful as zoas and palys, but in terms of LPS, they are on the peaceful end and never cause trouble.
