best placement for zoo colony??

[reefkeeper135]

I purchased a beautiful colony of green zoo's from LFS and they looked very healthy and happy. since placing in my tank they wont open up!!! I have tried high in the tank and low different areas of flow and nothing the water parameters are very good and all other tank inhabitants are doing well including other zoo's. I was very careful during acclimation, and its been three weeks and still they are closed any ideas????

how long ago did you get them, i would place them low untill they opened and not move them till they were opening. moveing them around can only make them stay close more. after that i would move them once a week till i found a spot. it can take some time before they start to open. depanding on the type of zoa it can take longer them others.

i picture might help on weather is might be another problem.
