All corals closed after addition of zoo frag.

Maybe at this point the best idea would be to remove the zoo rock you added, and see what happens to your tank.

I would probably recommend leaving the tank alone for a week, test continually and see what happens to your water parameters. Assuming everything is fine, you could probably try and add a few cleaning crew members, and slowly build up to adding fish again.

When I put the zoos in the tank they had mucous on them that came off and dissolved.

I did remove the zoo rock today right after I noticed everything. I then did some water changes and it seemed that the bristle worms started to move a little off the sand and some went back into the rocks. I am moving all corals to an established tank and recycling as I feel this is the best option. If anyone thinks this is not a good way to do it let me know.

I got the same zoos from murray last night with no i'll effects. so I would have to agree with the to many zoos for the tank size theory. By the way murray thanks everything looks great even the ricordia.

Yeah I think thats what it was.

On a side note making a mistake in this hobby sure is costly lol.

The mucus the Zoas produce is a toxin. They will produce this when moved or agitated. 10 gallons of water volume probably wasn't enough to dilute the toxin to a minimum effect.
