Is my zoa dying?

I purchased what appears to be a darth maul morph called nightmare. I know these are rather sensitive and hard to keep. It has 4 polyps, only 2 of which opened in my tank when I put them in about 5 days ago. Now none of them are opening and it appears that a layer of skin is peeling off like a leather coral. They came from a frag tank with 250watt metal halides I have spotlight LEDs, about 40 watts, 20 inches above the frag. I have increased the flow by placing a koralia nano near it (but not blowing directly on it). I smelled it to see if it was decomposing, and no smell of death. Is my zoa dying or adjusting?
 
This is one of those cases when a picture woud really make this very easy to answer. Do you have one by chance?

Is the polyp still robust, or is it laying down? Has it collasped?

Sorry to hear the bad news.

I agree with Mooch, a picture would really help with an answer. As he stated, sorry to hear the news, hopes it is an easy fix.
