Hello,

last week I bought a small colony of yellow zoas, all was fine and I’ve been moving it around the tank to find a good spot for it.

I’ve noticed that last three days it’s not opened at all. I have other zoas that look fine.

it’s the same with my gsp they haven’t opened since I bought them last week.

water parameters:
No3: 5.1
Po4: 0.17
Ca: 460
Mg: 1440
Dkh: 8.3
Ph:8.3

I’ve attached photos for reference

If you’ve been moving it around because it’s new then that may be why. Corals also may close up for extended periods and be completely fine.
