Zoanthids not looking to hot

[Ding2daDong]

I bought these a week ago and they have yet to open up. I moved them twice thinking they didnt like the area I put them in but still they havnt opened. All my other corals are fine and my water par. are perfect. I also smelled them and they dont smell bad so I know there not rotting just asking for a little advice. Thanks

Oh when I bought them only half or so of the colony was open and beautiful might I add. Thats why I grabbed them while I could. I turkey basted them once or twice so far also.

looks like they need to be blasted w/ a powerhead.

what exactly are your water specs, I know you said their fine, but providing them will help to diagnose your problem. Also what is your lighting and flow like? You say you bought them half closed? They could have had an issue from before you got them, and the extra stress from bagging/transportation pushed them over the edge. They dont look too bad though, as you can see a few skirts peeking out.
The best thing you can do is make sure they have good flow, and adequate lighting and DONT move them anymore. let them sit and acclimate/de-stress....

They seem to be doing a little better after I used a turkey baster on them. They are closed now but getting moderate flow. I guess we will see over time what happens. Thanks
