Tramatized Shipped Zoos

I just got some new zoos in the mail today, they are between 3-10 polyp frags. Some frags are fully out, some frags are starting out, and some frags are showing no signs of color whatsoever.
How long should I wait to determine they are dead? How long before they will be at their radiant color? and is ther anything that can be added to the tank to jumpstart their comeback?
I already have calcium at 400, and iodine and molyb in the tank.

if they are opening already thats a great sign. I have had zoas take over a week to open. if they look white/hazy and swell then they are probably dying, but you may only lose part of the colony.

I had a few of them come unglued, is this common? The ric was the most dificult to get back on.
How do you mean swell, the tops look like they are ready to pop out, if this is what you mean, how long should I wait to remove them before they contaminate the water?

I always let my cleanup crew handle deaths... I just run some fresh carbon, you never know if one or two polyps will survive.
