Paly advise

[angler man]

I bought a frag pack of Zoo's, Paly's and a couple of Acans.
Everything seems to have opened up really well. A couple of the Paly's opened up within a few hours and were happy, some took a few days.
I have some paly's that opened up after about 3-4 days, and my cleaner crew knocked them off into the substrate. I put them back but they haven't come out since. It's been about a week. I even threw them into my sump for a couple of days where there isn't hardly any flow.
Ideas? How long can these survive without opening?

they can survive for a long time without opening. it most likely suffered some tissue damage when it fell. mine actually stay closed for 2-3 weeks after it fell a while back. now they r all open. give it some time for it to heal.

Great! I was worried that they were toast. Thanks!

Yep sometimes they will close up for a few weeks or even a month then open back up.

Put them where you want them, then leave them alone. They deffinately don't like being played with. They will open, but need to be left alone for this to happen.
