zoanthid

HI. I am, by every definition of the word, a total noob. I've had my first ever salt tank running for a month now and today I bought my first ever corals, 3 zoa frags from my LFS. I brought em home, did my daily water change, and then prepared to dip them. I put on nitrile gloves, a KN95 mask...

I’ve had this zoa for quite a bit and it’s been doing really well. Since yesterday though, one head started to only half open. Is this normal? Is there anything I should do to/for it?

So I’ve had my first zoanthids for a week and I’ve had plug with 2 different kinds of zoas and I noticed that the first kind on the plug were and still doing fine but the different kind has been closed for awhile and I noticed some brown algae most likely diatom on the two polyps. I found it...

Strategically designing your zoa garden isn’t talked about enough. Starting my zoa garden was overwhelming because of the amount of color combos and variations out there, and ihad no idea how to go about picking zoas or what would look good together. This technique of applying color theory to...

Help!! I have had my zoas for about 2 weeks now. For the first week they were doing great, opened right away, polyps fully open and great color. One day they just suddenly didn’t open one morning and have not opened for a week and a half now. I am really worried because I have searched...

I have some zoa I am going to frag. Frags will be 1-2 polyp $15-20 pp Could create a frag pack Frags Available -Rasta -Laser Lemons, - Purple heart -Pink diamond -Super Siayan -Scrambled eggs Pm if interested Open for trades as well

Most of the polyps are opening on my zoanthid but it looks a little different than photos I’ve seen of them online. Just wanna make sure they’re healthy. I’ve had them for about 2 months.

Anyone have a clue what zoas these are? They look cool so i bought some but theres no name. It said just zoa. Not sure of price will give a clue. They were 2.50 for 8-10 polyps. Thanks

So my Maui Wowie Zoanthids are touching my Everlasting Gobstopper Zoanthids, the Maui’s are blue/greenish and the Gobstopper are pink. I noticed that the newest Maui Polyp has hints of pink, it looks a lot more pink in person, but if you look at the picture, you can see there’s quite a...

Hi, recently i bought a kessil light and everything has been growing like a dream but today after a water change my oldest zoanthid polyps were vomiting their zooxanthellae. These zoanthids everyday get better and better coloration. I suspect its from too much light. Is this normal? Should i...

SOLD. Admin please delete.

I'm a first time reefer, and yesterday I gave my first two zoa frags a 30 sec 3% hydrogen peroxide dip, which nuked the algae on the plugs, but they didn't seem to enjoy it very much, and are now, a day later, only about 2/3 opened back up. Also, last night, my clown fish mysteriously...

Salinity 1.026 Nitrate 0 Phosphate bounces from 0 to < .02 PH 8.2 Alk 10 Calcium 440 Mag 1500 I use RODI water, 0 TDS. Tank Age: 6 Months. So this stuff has been in my substrate for awhile now, it was brown, but now is green. Substrate gets plenty of flow. I've had to adjust it a few times to...

I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations on why my LPS and zoas are showing very slow growth. I have a Fluval Evo with an AI prime light. I just got Seifert tests in the mail today to test all my levels. I am currently dosing 2 part 1.25ml of B Ionic 2 part. This tank has been running...

Im running into a contradiction with my new tank. It's been up since June. I'm using a skimmer, a fuge, and filter socks. My filtration has done a great job of exporting nutrients, too good in fact. Both phosphate and nitrate are 0. They are definitely not truly 0 as I do have some algae, but I...

So the attached image is a frag that a buddy of mine who runs an LFS gave me. In the store they were listed as "Yellow Brick Polyps" They seem like Zoa's with a few noticeable differences, mainly being how tall/long they extend, and the length of the lashes. I'm just wondering if anyone has...

I am relatively new to the reef tank hobby and have a problem with some zoanthid corals. There is a solid brown/purple mass spreading over the coral and covering polyps, it was relatively slow spreading to begin with but has started to spread faster, covering more and more of the coral. I have...

I just thought I would start a thread to see what everyone is doing as far as care for Zoas/Palys, and see what others have found they like best. Please vote and share your comments below. I have always heard Zoas love MH but have never tried them under that type of lighting.

Recently was told these are Gorilla Nipz, looking at the website I ordered them from they have Radioactives (they were sold to me as Spring Zoanthids). (Above: my photo) (Their advertisement of Radioactives) (What I bought them as)

Looking for help identifying what this is on my zoas. This is the first time I’ve ever seen them in the tank. Is this some type of nudibranch? Thanks in advance! #reefsquad

hey guys i’ve been seeing these weird looking things just chilling on my zoas like this never seen them in my life, they look like pods when viewing from the top down but i don’t know what they are. last time i saw them i took the zoas out and put them in a dip. a whole bunch of what looked like...

Hello guys I have this zoanthid rock. It’s taking up way to much room in my 32G biocube. I was curious on how much y’all think it’s worth. it has about 50+ polyps total. Cat eyes, utter chaos, Pandora, blondies zoanthids.

are our zoanthids melting? I just got some zoanthids this last weekend and more than half of it is opened but I see a little spot where there’s nothing really there. If it’s melting what should I do?
