Armor of God Question

I bought a single polyp two years ago the size of a nickel. After a month it closed and finally open back up several months later but slowly shrank in size. It multiplied to seven heads which they too eventually closed and ended up with only two polyps. For some reason many of my other zoos particularly the small ones do the same thing they slowly close and open up after a month or so repeating the cycle. My question is the Armor of Gods have been open for six months and haven't closed or grown in size they still remain small like the size of dragon eyes. What is wrong is it something I'm doing? I have other larger size zoas and they do just fine but others just close then open then slowly disappear. I had nuclear greens for two years did great put them on the sand bed and in several months they too started to close. The AOG started off on the sand but when I put them higher up they eventually stayed open after a years time. They just won't get any bigger. Water quality has been good all tests pass. Have a algae scrubber so the PO4 stays undetected so I try and feed heavily. My lights are Maxspect razors 160 watt LED 10k supplementing ATI blue plus so lighting should be fine. Any recommendations?

How high have you put them?

I've started mine long ago when I had OG AOG's in the sand then gradually moved them up higher and higher to finally to the tops of my rock work. They were size of dimes or slightly bigger. glowing red

They are at the highest point on my rockwork but at the lights edge. Notice many of my smaller zoos are not spreading anymore some colonies are open others are randomly closed. No pests and done FW dips in past nothing comes off them. Something must be in the water column or lacking also run carbon doesn't seem to change anything. Have noticed my candycanes, lobos and acans are not spreading either but the large brown zoas, blastos, frogspawns, keyna, xenia, cabbage leather and GSP are doing okay some exploding in growth.
