Help with Zoas!

[bubbles02]

I've had a colony of about 20 polyps and they were doing great, they were always open and thriving. Now for about 3 weeks most of them have been closed. I've tried moving them in the tank to get different lighting and it's been a few days now and they really havent improved. Any ideas as to what could be causing them to stay closed? Feeding and light schedule hasn't changed.

could be a number of things, not just pests but irritants. Try moving them to a different spot. Also a dip in lugols solution (iodine) may help as well as placing them in an area with higher flow.
