Zoos not opening after a slight impact???

[justdugan]

Hello everyone, long time troll, first time poster. About three months ago I started my first saltwater setup. Everythings been going great, very satisfied.
My first coral was a zoo that I got for $20 about a month ago. It looked very happy for a while, however recently a snail knocked a piece of my tonga loose, and I believe it hit a portion of my zoos. So for the past week or so now, only half of my crop have been opening, and the other half remain closed. Is there anything I should be doing to aid in the recovery of my first coral? I sure dont want to loose it!
Thanks in advance!

Unless there was any serious physical damage they should be fine. I would test your water params. The shocked zoas might not feel comfortable in sub par water conditions. Other than that i would make sure the closed portion of zoas is getting a decent flow over it, not a ton, but good amount.

corals are finnicky (sp). i doubt that you injured any of them. they may just be really pissed. just leave them be, do a good water change or something.

Thanks again!
After reading more about the zoo's on the site and some of their pests I noticed a few hitchhikers. So I did a quick freshwater dip and set him in a nice place, hopefully he'll be just fine in a day or two.
