First Zoas not opening

[saltwaterswiftie]

I got my first Zoas a week ago today. I do not know exactly what kind they are as I ordered an "assortment" of whatever the store had. When they arrived, I did a dip with CoralRX. I did remove one worm (not sure exactly what it was). They are currently in a QT at 1.025 salt and 78 degrees. I was told to give the zoas direct flow for 48hrs after I got them so I did and then moved them to they are getting medium indirect flow now.

I am worried about them because they look like they are about to open but nothing has opened yet and it has been a week. I have included a picture. I have never had a coral before so I do not really know what they are supposed to look like. I have read some zoas take weeks to open but I am just really not sure if I am on the right track at all here. Any advice would be appreciated!

If your lighting, flow and parameters are fine then they're just being stubborn. Be patient - they will come out eventually.

I think that direct flow scared them. Why would they say to do that I wonder?

Not entirely sure myself.

My personal experience is that they do best with less flow.
