They look irritated, does a fish or anything sit there regularly? The tentacles from the large play behind them may also be brushing against them enough to cause irritation.

The others seem fine. Zoas can be cranky. It could be a response to the water being too clean although the rest seem fine. It could also be a response to too much light if that particular species likes less light than the others. Amphipods in the tank? Sometimes they can irritate zoas. Give them some time and they may open again. I’ve had mixed results with mine. Mine stopped opening for a couple of weeks because my nitrates went to zero and my leather was starting a war due to not changing the carbon out frequently enough. A carbon change also helped.
