Is it normal for my Zoas to look like this for 2-3 days?

Hey! They usually do that when they are upset about something, since it's only a few polyps, my guess would be that its irritated by some of that algae growing on the frag. If you could try to carefully remove the algae, it may help. Also, it seems like you have clove polyps, not zoas. In case you were curious!

I think he's got zoas AND cloves on the same frag!
