Zoas dont open??

[theappe3]

I've recently aquired some really nice zoas, thing is that they havent opened up ever since I bought them. Ive even tried an iodine bath. Any takers on this situation?

they do that sometimes, just be patient ... I have had some stay closed for a month.

agreed...if they are new they can take a while to open up so just be patient, you can always do a freshwater dip as well and look for any spiders, nudibranches, etc.

What is the real name of these zoa spiders? I searched for "spiders" in the FAQ and found nothing.
