Zoas not growing

Anyone ever have an issue where some zoas won't grow ? I have tried two of my tanks with this suckers and 4 different likes with no avail. Anyone ever have this issue?
 
My old tank thrived with zoas only thing I can say I really did for them was feed my fish a lot and dose phyto with rotifers 3 times a week
 
my experience zoas grow better in a dirty tank- if you have SPS and you trying to keep nitrate and phosphate low zoas wont do well-
 
Lol the tank they are in is super clean my other tank is dirty sort of say I have rasta zoas that went from 1 polyp to 4 in 2 months and my green hulk started at around 8 polyps and are about 25+ polyps now after about also 7 months but this zoas that I am speaking about I have had for about 7 months and they have not grow at all. They open and have color but no new polyps in the months that I have owned them
 
They have only been in the clean tank for about 2 months and my "dirty" tank (5-10 nitrates ) had them for about 5 months
 
Try different placement, flow and lighting? And sometimes they have a mind of their own. ..I have a vdm frag, 1 polyp a year...
 
Tried the kessil 150 no luck tried the maxspect razor no luck tried the the ocean revive no luck maybe placement they were lower in the tank but my rasta are the same distance and they grew way better down low then up high.
 
Anyone wants to adopt them!? See if they have better luck than I do I wouldn't mind fragging it to give them away but I don't know how to frag lol
 
Put me down for them i have quite a few expensive to pennies and they all grow ....also ultra low for over a year now 000000 to .02 sometimes on the po4 and never any nitrates
 
If you want them come and get them kinda deal lol just keep me updated if you do happen to capture any growth
