Picked up some dragon eye zoanthids on Saturday. they opened in just 15 minutes of their introduction to the tank. Sunday morning they have been closed up and remain that way today. I understand they can do that so wont worry BUT just wanted to make sure they look OK otherwise. No mucus, etc and in fact the polyps themselves look like they could pop they are so bulbous. Notice also that some fruit loop zoanthids I got on Thursday look fine and are in pretty much the same spot.

Allot of zoas are different when it comes to care. Some like more light others like less, some like more flow some like low to med, etc. It's probably just adjusting to your tank parameters ;). I'd leave it for a few day's and see if it opens up, otherwise move it around until you find the sweet spot.
