new zoas, still closed...

[jasonj90]

i just recieved a few pieces from an online vendor, got them yesterday. it was a 2 day shipping, which ive had no problems with in the past. they have been in my tank now for over 24 hours, what is the longest time anyone has had to wait for some to open up? one of the pieces opened almost immediately, and 2 others have not. they are very tightly closed and are still green on the outside. ive got alot of other zoas in my tank and all are open and fine, so im assuming this was just stress related. hopefully these guys will open up soon (eye of rah, safecrackers and some fire and ice)

I have zoas take up to a week to open. And it was after shipping for 2 days.

try to move them in your tank,if low move higher but not to high or/and move them in more flow

Give em a good medium flow and keep em off the bottom.

well i wasnt really home today, but i think that they have been trying to open. i guess it dosent really help out things that my yellow tang keeps moving one of the pieces around the tank. i swear he acts like a child, i have to keep poking him with my finger when he gets near it... literally he lets me pet him...
