Longest your zoas/palys stayed closed up for?

What is the longest your zoas/palys have stayed closed.

I had a peppermint shrimp that was terrorizing mine and one frag (3 heads) haven't opened for 2-3 days.

Peppermint shrimp is out of the tank now but they still have not opened.

I'm not too worried as I think they will open eventually, just curious.

I have a 4-polyp frog of RPE that has been closed up for probably at least 2-3 months due to a sponge (??) appearing and growing over it and me being too lazy to do anything about it. Yesterday I finally took the frag out and scraped off the sponge and repositioned the frag so we'll see if they open now. They look fat and good colored on the outside and have made it this long closed without melting, so I don't see why they wouldn't, but I can update this in a few days. Prior to the sponge appearing on them, they had been open and multiplying for a few months - it started out as a 1.5 polyp frag.

weeks.. and healthy now.

That makes me feel a little better. They have been closed for a week but appear healthy on the outside/not melting away.

New frag I bought last Saturday was opened the first day, and all closed after that. Just now after a week starting to reopen.

The RPE frag that was closed up for a couple months has 4 polyps that are about half open now and look like they should make a full recovery given a little more time.
