zoas not opening

I have a 75 gallon reef. My lighting is a pc - 2 65w actinic and 2 65w 10,000k daylights. I recently bought 4 or 5 different zoa frags. Before I put them in my tank, they were opening. Since I have put them in, they stay closed. I have tried different placement in the tank. My LFS said to dip them three days in a row, and see if that worked. It didn't. My water tests fine. Help?

If water flow is to high the may not open. After you add in your tank its good to leave main lights off 1 day.
But you say readings are fine but what do you consider fine .
Did you test phosphate , PH , Alk, and what are the #s. Did you use tap water? And they do have preditors , look here for ID.
