I have Zoanthus Colony Polyps that I purchased just over a week ago. I can't figure out what they are doing. My light is an AquaMedic 2x250 1x150 10,000k MH. I acclimated them, placed them at the bottom of the tank (135 gallon) for a day and then moved them up to the top of my reef. Some are open, some are short and chubby, some are long and stretched out but haven't opened.
Levels are good. Is this normal or should I move them? (please see picture...)

sometimes corals get a little pissy for a few days when you move them around...they should be fine in a day or two
 
Maybe move them to a mid-level point in the tank to see what they do...

I just got some 2 weeks ago and they done the exact same thing, he is right they do get pissy when you fiddle with them.I would leave them be after moving them for awile and see what they do, Mine are finally looking good after 2 weeks.
 
I also went through the same situation. After finding a good spot (took forever) they finally all started to open after 4 or 5 days.
