Pretty sure bristle worm needs to go. Most of your zoas look ok. Did a snail or crab walk through them right before this pic? If they continue to close and your water params are good then maybe try another spot in the tank with different flow and lighting.

Bristle worms are good members of your cuc. There's also more params you should be testing than just those three, you should get a phosphate (low range, .01 and up) alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium test, these are pretty much the basics for a reef tank.

I'll get an api reef test kit this weekend. Thanks

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

The api kits are pretty much useless for sw, especially phosphate. Highly recommend investing in quality kits for the big 5

Really? I'll see what my lfs had

Also, I moved the zoas to an area with better flow and light and they look much better
