they were doing good till I glued them on the rock. Today they look pretty rough.

Everything else has been great, water params are good.


This morning, they were open, after the light comes on they close up.

I agree, let them adjust. Whenever I make a new frag of zoas it takes a day or 2 for them to start opening. Also, is the spot where you glued them different from where you had them? Sometimes higher light or stronger flow can cause this reaction so they will need to adjust.

Yes. Had them on a disk for a few days, glued them 2" up on the rock because it was easier, they've been acting up for about a week now.
 

Form or function: Do you consider your rock work to be art or the platform for your coral?
