I've had zoas that closed for about a week before. I never found out why. They just opened back up one day and looked fine....weird.

I actually had a bunch that were doing great, then all of them in the tank closed up and a bunch of them died off before they started opening back up. I have no idea what caused it. All my parameters were fine. I tested, then had the LFS test a sample as well. I hadn't added anything recently. I did a water change and it didn't seem to help. Eventually the surviving ones opened back up and they seem happy now, but I have no idea what caused it, but I lost close to half of the ones I had. :evil:
Hopefully you're not having the same problems I had.

i hope not...i going up to my LFS and haveing them test my water. i dont have that many zoo's so if i loose them its no big deal, some of them have opened but dont look to good. nothing else in my tank is doing bad.....thats why its strange. im just glad im not the only one that had a problem like this.

Anything can have too much light. Even the really light-hungry corals and critters don't tolerate sudden large increases in light well.
