Rjohn Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I had orange zoas and green zoas growing on the same set of rock. The orange ones all closed up but the greens are doing fine. My parameters are all fine except my nitrates are running about 10 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ACampbell Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Is this the culprit? Does kinda look like a fungal infection. Might consider the Hydrogen Peroxide treatment. I have never had luck with it, but you might. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ACampbell Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Looks like a bristle worm, but not the typical pink/grey ones you usually see. Just a shot in the dark, but I guess anything is possible. I have also see my zoos look like this when I place them too high up and they get "sunburned" and close up all funky like in your picture.

I have one in my tank that is yellow/brown. It has never bothered my zoa's though, it normally captures snails (and I have heard they might go after Rics, but it has left mine alone).

+Daniel Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) EDIT: Crap, I just realized the age of this thread. Any updates? I had a similar issues with my zoas when I moved them up. One colony died because I figured I'd wait it out, the other one recently opened back up (after a few weeks)-- I attribute the survival of this colony to me moving the coral down to where it would receive less light.
