Zoas wont open at all??

Yep, that be the one!. I tried several fish, based on the "experts recommendations" and had no luck at all. Shooting the breeze at a LFS with a fellow reefer, he said he had good luck with a coris. It worked out for me.

I had some button polyps in my pico that closed up completley for like a month and started shrinking. I transferred them to my nano and now they are open and reegaining color. I think it was more of a lighting issue, if there wasn't a flatworm outbreAk I'd say dip em and switch tanks. Have you moved their height in the tank at all.

Yah my eagle eyes grow like weeds. Do you know if anything in ur tank perches on your zoas? My blenny sometimes likes to pace at the front of my tank and almost wiped out a whole colony of zoas

no. none of my fish touches them.
this is usually what happends.
i add the zoa frag in the tank.
they open up nice.
then after a while they spread.
then they start to get skinny.
then closed up.
and lose polyps.
and then die

That's strange for them to spread and then receed..... Cause it rules out lighting and flow unless that has changed at all.

I really have no clue...it has to be irritating then though for those worms to be on them...so it could be
they don't look dead...just closed (irritated)

the revive should work. i know someone who uses that stuff.
i know some zoas will stay closed for about a week and actually clean them selves from the inside-out. i got a frag fromsomeone online and it stayed close for a good week, and now they are opened and reprpoducing.
give it time. take them out and if they smell bad.. then toss em.
smelling bad is a sign of rotting/ decay.
try moving them around in the tank as well. keep them in lower flow.
