Quick Zoa help question
Calling all zoa freaks,
Hoping someone can help or got another idea, Recently my fire and ice colony of Zoas has closed up and been closed up for about 10ish days now trying to figure out why and see if i can get them back before they melt away like so many do. Nothing has changed in the tank, still doing weekly or bi weekly w/c, parameters are in check phosphate - .08 on the hanna calc-420 alk-7.5 mag-1380 nitrates- undetectable All the other Zoas close are open and fine the fire and ice ones randomly are closed ? not sure why? I tried moving them up to the close rock ledge thinking maybe a little less light and flow would help but I'm running outa ideas Any thoughts? Few pics Current state  Placement before ( all other zoas fine)  2ish weeks ago same frag

how long have they been closed?
sometimes mine close randomly for a couple days and then come back to normal on their own I find large changes in temp. will also make them close for a couple days

Haven't added anything new to the tank, they have been closed up for 10 ish days now i think i didn't start to worry until after like day 5 cause yea I've had some close for no reason for a bit then open but I'm worried now they won't open again
Only thing I can think of went away for a week and brother watched my tank and i forgot to add kalk back into to my ATO and my ALk was down to 7.5ish when its usually over 8 but I can't imagine a point or so dkh drop over maybe 2 weeks being the problem when everything else looks good
