i know very little about these guys. so far i think they are doing good, except there's a few polyps that wont open. is that bad?

does it look healthy overall?

Yep those look good IMO. I have several zoas and rics in my 72g bowfront. I have had them for around 2 months or so. Mine are starting to grow and spread some. Different ones like different flow and lighting so you may have to look at placement in your tank. A few of mine also have some polyps that are small and haven't opened yet. I think if you will just give them time they will open, especially if the other polyps on the frag are opening. I really like the zoos, they are cool. Good luck with yours.

I agree with Bama, those look great!
I dont think you need to do anything different.
for the few that won't open you might try placing them where more light hits them but they may just open on their own in time.

id just leave the two that are unopened. You can try dipping the coral in an iodine solution but they look healthy to me, just keep an eye out for any pests on the closed ones.
