How are these zoas doing

[TheMako]

Just picked my my first coral from the store yesterday, put it in and here they are today. Was just wondering if someone can take a look to see how they're doing. Idk if my lighting is too strong or weak, I'm running led 40%blue 30%white

That's an alveopora or goniopora. Not the easiest of corals.

Do you think I should bring th m back, I'm not that experienced, or if I keep them can you give me some tips on there requirements

they need to be fed in order to grow or to make them last. otherwise, they usually don't make it past a year mark. if this is your first coral, you should take it back to the store and exchange it with a easy to keep coral imo. mushroom, zoanthids, gsp, xenia, toadstools, etc are all easy to keep and even some lps like hammer, torch, frogspawn, etc are not hard to keep ime.

WOW JUST WOW, I was sold this very same type of frag when I bought my first corals. I was told it was a polyp. No wonder it closed up and has not come back out. Well, I know one fish store ill never give business to again. And to think I had been making an hour trip cause they were the closest to me at the time.
