My fish consistently smash their butt on my zoas.

So my firefish sometimes swim by and disturb my zoa frags from opening fully. Will they eventually get used to it and stay open?

Be sure your chemical parameters are in check. A settled in zoa should recover in a minute from a large disruption like a large hermit crawling across it much less a fish swimming by. I would expect you have another problem if they never open fully. Check for pests as well.

particularly check your alkalinity: a good reading is, say, 8.3.
