A change in lighting can cause the zoas to close up for awhile. Give it sometime and I'm sure they will open back up. I had some frags that came from another tank and they didn't open up for a week.

+1 all coral needs time to acclimate to different lighting strengths.

I decided to turn the blue LEDs off a couple hours after the t5s turn off and come back on in the morning before I go to work. Goin to try that for a week or so and see how things go. Thank you both for the input.

Anyone have ideas for t5 combos?
