My other Zoos are fine and doing well. PH 8.5 stable, all other prameters are OK.

As suggested above i changed the green Zoos location and put them in loo light, its been four days, polips are opening fine. I think color will return in a week or so (i don't know exactly) just observing what will happen when I changed the location of my zoos from Bright light t low light. Let see, hopefully it will do good.:rolleyes:

mine turn bright green under strong light but stay closed, and they turn brown when i have them shaded real good, but they open up in the shade

I've had my green paly's under a single T-8 that comes with a 20gal freshwater setup, and I've switched to a mixed reef with T-5's, then T-5's with 250watt MH. The paly's have stayed green the whole time. Shaded or unshaded, they've always been bright green and wide open

Some paly's take lighting pretty good, i had my PD about 6-8'' from the lights, but the colors i think u might have to move them around till they are happy.
