Zoanthids wont open up

[shamler]

Hey everyone. This week I moved my colony from my 29G tank to my 150G tank. They closed on me and wont open up. Parameters are nearly identical on both tanks. Whats up with this? It is currently sitting mit tank under about 15-18 inches of water. I have T5 actinic with 150W metal halide 10K.

may take a few days to open up the most i waited for a zoa to open 4 days some open quicker than others

+1 give it some time, zoas can be temperamental

It may be even more than 4 days. Some zoas handle stress better, some worse. I had zoa colonies that didn't open up for about 2 weeks after fragging, after that they rarely close.
