WHat is wrong with my Zooanthids?

[marcusnewtonz2]

I bought some polyps about 2 weeks ago, and they have yet to open. Usually when I buy zooanthids they open the next day, or two days later at the most. Any thoughts on why they havnt opened yet, or any ideas on what I can do to get them to open? Thanks for any help!

I am going to look for a thread that I saw last week that talked about his zoos not opening and then I believe he dipped them in something and they opened...
