Red zoas not opening

[janakaybravo]

I bought some blue zoas and red zoas, each on their on rock. The blue zoas opened immediately, but the red zoas have not opened and it's been four days. I have other zoas living in my tank and they are fine. What should I do? I put them at first in the light on the bottom and then moved them to a place in a shadowy area and they still have not opened.
Thanks for any advice.

I've had zoos reluctant to open, but eventually they all opened. First, try moving them to an area of more current. If that doesn't get them to open in a couple days, move them somewhere with less current and more/less light. Basically, my zoos open within a day or two when they are happy where they're at.

If they are content to not open, I'd dip them as they may have an irritator bothering them and keeping them from opening.
