Hi


I just bought 2 frags and had them shipped and ending up getting a 3rd zoa frag as a freebie. The shipment arrived 5-6 days ago and The freebie is not opening. The gsp and utter chaos are open and happy but the freebie isn’t. Idk why tho. I did a 20 minute float, then a drip acclimation, then a coral dip so I acclimated correctly. Is this something zoas just do??

Utter chaos:

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I have had zoas stay closed for over a week at a time sometimes two. As long as it is not melting or disappearing it should open up at some point. You could try moving it to the sandbed, but I'd just leave it be for now.
