zoa advice

I have a 3-4 gallon tank with some live rock and red branching macroalgae. I am planning on adding Xenia, Zoa, a submerged pump to create a current, a small air pump powered filter, 5W marine spectrum LED lights and maybe some inverts. The problem is at room temp the water is 82-84F. I know...

I’ve been watching my zoas for a couple of days now and these are the first two coral I put into my tank and I just saw this they are closed right now and I’m not sure if this is normal for them but to me it doesn’t not look normal could someone help me out!

I have had these zoas for a couple of days now and ever since I put them in the tank they look like they are stretching. Do I need to ramp up the light intensity?

I got these two zoa yesterday and they man never told me what they were I should’ve asked but I was too excited to get these in the tank. Wondering if anyone would know what the names of these are

Hi guys my name is Nathan and i am new to the reefing community, my brother introduced me to it and i am enjoying learning how to take care of my little peice of the ocean. I recently made a purchase of a mixed zoa rock and i was happy with it until i looked at the back of it and saw some white...

Hi guys I have this zoa here but I can’t find a name for it, does anyone know? Thanks I’m advance.

Hello All, I am upgrading from a BioCube 32 to a 75 gallon display with a 20 gallon sump. Finally got permission because my aiptasia problem is out of control. I am currently transferring fish to the new tank, and will start with coral soon. The problem I am running into is that I can’t seem to...

This morning I was scrubbing hair algae off of my rock with a toothbrush. The location where I scrubbed was right next to my zoas and the toothbrush brushed up against a few of them and broke them off/basically killed a few polyps. I know...rookie mistake. Won't happen again. Will this harm my...

One of zoanthids frag seems to be dying. I am new on this and kind of lost on what I should do. I had it for 2 months no issues, but last week started to look weird and it is getting worst by day. the only change I did was adding new corals, they seems to be doing fine. Please advice!! Thanks

Hey guys, this ZOA was purchased as a no name, the bloke I spoke with said they ordered it in just under zoa and not a specific name Would anyone be able to ID this for me? cheers Lunare

These zoas have not opened for almost a month now and there’s something on there tips now. Does anyone know what’s wrong or how i can save them?

I have a single head of white zombies that is getting absolutely massive and changed color overnight on me. Anyone seen them morph like this before? It’s the big one in the center of the shot. @footgal.

Some of my zoanthid polyps have some brown on it. Is that normal? I just tried to clean it with a soft toothbrush hence why they are a bit closed up

Hey, everyone! I participated in the zoanthids.com live sale and my order arrived today! This is my second order of coral, my first was two toadstools which are happy in my display tank. I'm going to layout how I handled the order and I was hoping to get advice, kudos, and constructive...

Ok so I've got several zoa frags with heads getting super, super small. they aren't melting or dying but the heads are maybe 1/2 to 1/3 the size they were months ago. I have recently had a cyan outbreak but they were shrinking in size before this. Any ideas what the problem could be? Biocube...

For the past 6-7 weeks my zoas have not been opening fully, have their skirts pulled back, and are discolored. Barebottom mixed reef 20g - Paired Clowns - Lawnmower Blenny - 20lbs live rock (2yo) Sunny-D's (on rack) Utter Chaos (colony) I dose only calcium, fuel, and for the past 4 weeks...

Going to pick up some zoa from a LFS today. Wondering about pricing. He’s asking 35$/head for Illuminati, 25$/15 heads for white ding dangs, 25$ for two heads of JF crybaby’s. Just wanna know if these are decent prices. NOTE, this is a place in Nashville. I am from an area with NO LFS and no...

Hi Guys, I added my first coral to my tank on Monday, a single Rasta Zoa polyp. I did a coral dip using Coral RX Pro and Seachem Reef Dip. Over the last couple of days I’ve noticed something that appears to be growing out from the base of the polyp. Any ideas what this can be?

Hi there! Picked up these zoas a week or two ago, they opened up right away when putting them in my tank and they’ve seemed to have been doing fine, I noticed today they’re dulling out. They used to be a bright green around the edges the largest head still has some trace of the original colors...

I just crushed a zoa in my DT, I know the answer to this but need to hear it from someone else. Will this nuke my tank? The innards went all over the tank but I’m running carbon and have a protein skimmer. It was a single head of rainbow incinerators. @footgal because duh

Hi all, on my way out of the house i noticed that the base of one of my zoa’s is turning white and sort of fluffy, i haven’t tested today and am out of the house but as of 4 days ago the params were: Po4: 0.01 No3: 5 No2: 0 Am: 0 Dkh: 9.5 Mg: 1240 Ca: 440 This is the oldest coral in the tank...

So I’ve slowly collected a bunch of zoa, most of which I’m assuming are low end. I just wanted to post them all so people could give me a decent idea of where they land in terms of rarity. Only rare thing I have are CB white zombies. rastas Orange bam bams Blue hornets WWC purple monsters...

Hey guys, I’ve had these small zoas for a couple of weeks in my new tank. They’ve been dipped with “the dip” by fauna marin and then inserted in the aquarium. After a day, they started thriving and some polyps doubled already in size. However, its been a few days since many polyps haven’t...

I have several zoa frags whose heads are getting smaller. They aren’t melting and they’re still reproducing fine they’re just smaller. If they’re ok I don’t see it being an issue I like my polyps to be relatively the same size anyway. The zoa in question are my vamps in drag, purple monsters...
