Radioactive Dragon eyes

[Foxchase]

Hello, so I bought 5 frags of zoas about 2 weeks ago. All different. Temp acclimated in bag, then drip acclimated them, then revive dip. Normal process. 4/5 of them were open next day. One of them was a Radioactive Dragon Eye and it has refused to open. I let it sit for a week then moved it to a spot with less flow. No change. Sometime it seems like one or 2 polyps are barely about to open and then an hour later, nothing. I removed them from the tank, did a peroxide dip in case maybe there was something bothering it. Dipped it in iodine right after. Rinsed, placed in the part of the tank where the other zoas are. (Figured since they all seem to be happy). This was 4 days ago. No change. It's closed. Doesn't look dead. Which I figured it would have been by now since it has not opened in so long.

I don't know what to try at this point. I would really like to get it to open. Any tips?

I would just leave them be and wait...

The rules with zoa is if they are expensive they won’t open. Lol
$5 zoas open and grow with no problem
$300 zoas die if you look at it.

You could try dipping them in coral revive sometimes that works also strong water flow sometimes lower lighting At the beginning

Do you think I should put them closer to light with higher flow? Or leave them with the others
