A quick search over in the zoanthid forum will yield you some additional thoughts, but it could be issues with flow, lighting, reef chemistry, an unseen antagonist (that maybe only comes out at night), or an unnoticed irritant (spag. worms or algae), they could even be dividing. Some more specific info also may help in getting some answers.

i noticed my salinity was 1.022 though, im slowly raising it

1.022 salinity for zoo's aren't that bad. Don't go over 1.026 with them, however. Check out the helpful links, like scopus said.

Gow old are your lights? I had some closing up, but my lights needed replacing. My bulbs came today and they all opened back up. Just a thought
