Make sure they're Caribbean peppermints, not pacific. Only the Caribbean ones eat aiptasia

Anyone know how long it takes for Zoas to open after being introduced into a tank?

Anywhere from minutes to days.

You either need to take pictures under full spectrum lighting or adjust the blue out of your pictures. It looks like you're specifically taking pictures under actinics to blow out the colors.
The pictures are color balanced for my tank's lighting. How they appear in the picture is how they appear to the human eye in the tank. Yes, my tank does run deep into the blue spectrum to make the colors pop. These are taken under dual 150w Radium 20ks with 156w of T5-HO actinic supplement.

Nobody keeps this thread bumped anymore.
I dropped some of the blue out of my system and went for Phoenix 14k 150w bulbs. Think I'm going to trade out two of the pure actinic T5s for some Fiji Purples or Actinic+.

I just give them lots of light, flow, and calcium and they seem to be happy.

Mine has been at 7.8 for two years and it's never caused a problem. I'm also a big fan of letting the tank do things on it's own instead of micromanaging parameters, though, so ymmv.
