Hello friends, what's the problem with that polyp? Why isn't it opening properly?

Beautiful Zoes ya got there! Check to see if something is bothering it. I use a type of long feeder tube/pipette to blow my Zoes off every day since all kinds of crap gets on them.
Your parameters are great in my book.

Thank you for your reply. I checked around it but only found algae and coralline. Of course, there are also very tiny worms visible. There are also pink polyps Zoantus around it that have turned pink.
 
If all is clean around it maybe try spot feeding it and see what happens. My palys sometimes do the inside out thing after a good meal. lol
Thank you bro❤️
It's been like this for 3 days but I saw that he ate a pineapple sponge Could that be the reason for it being like this?
 
I think that could do it. I just fed some blood worms to my favorite paly and he will do that when he's done. Only thing is it only happens for an hour or so. I would just let it ride and see what happens. Maybe he's constipated. lol. The rest of your Zoes look great!

This blood worm was at least a 1/2" long and he's been choking it down for about a half hour now. lol
