    the toadstool needs a lot of flow. It looks like it has a "wax" build up. I would move it to a higher flow area to see how it does.

    hey sorry !!! this time of night everyone is into sports and or dinner with their families !!

    But I have seen PLENTY of Zoas take around 1 week to fully open depending on the acclimation process...

    Tell us how you went about acclimating these corals?

    I sat them in there bag floating in my tank for twenty minutes then did a slow drip system for 15 mins...then took some water out of the bag they came in so it would be easier to get them then put them on the bottom of the tank for 3 days then when they all opened i moved them to the rocks where all stayed open except these?!?!

    :(

    OH !! dont worry about it then !! if they were at the bottom and ALL opened then they must just be getting used to the flow/lighting in that area !! Or at least, thats what my experience tells me. Where are they in the tank? how intense it the light and flow??
