Key word is today.... give it time...Likely acclimation. Params good , means what?
The tank is 4 months old and I’m running or3sIf you just put them in, give them at lease a few days to “relax”. Most likely the stress of the purchase/transfer/and different water is causing them to be closed. I would wait a few days and see how they do.
that’s if all water parameters are “good” as you said.
many of us here have a bit of a “pet peeve” and hate to see “parameters are good” lol. Better yet we like to see the actual results of Alk, Cal, Mag, Salinity, no3, po4, and ph. This helps identify anything that may be out of whack.
also the age of the tank and the lighting also helps to come up with an probable cause.
one thing for me: I noticed once I started dosing iodine my zoas really took off. Just food for thought. Just be careful dosing anything you can’t test. I do 1/2 recommended dose.
good luck and happy reefing!

Salinity is a little low and absence of nitrate is an issue. What's your alk?The tank is 4 months old and I’m running or3s
Salinity -.023
Ph-8.4
Nitrite-1ppm
Nitrate-0
Ammonia-0
Idk what the calcium or phosphate levels are I haven’t tested for them
Ok great, appreciated. Nitrate zero is not a good thing IMO, but tank is young, I think give it a few days, and see what happensThe tank is 4 months old and I’m running or3s
Salinity -.023
Ph-8.4
Nitrite-1ppm
Nitrate-0

Agreed, low and slow to start.I also always start coral on the bottom of the tank. Allow a few days to acclimate to lighting before moving up.
True...makes me wonder how much else is in the tank? OP?Double check your testing. The 1 nitrite and 0 nitrate in a 4 month old tank doesn't seem right. pH is at the top limit.
These are not bad numbers.The tank is 4 months old and I’m running or3s
