Hi all
This is my first post, but I have been around this forum for months learning from you guys so first of all, let me thank you for this amazing site and please be patient because English isn’t my first language.
I want to share with you something that has happened to some zoas that I see as a mystery.
It all started when I put a tiny frag stand in a tank that was hosting a bunch of sexy shrimp (by the way, DO NOT DO THAT, big mistake)
For a few days I kept seeing the shrimp all over the zoas 24/7. I did nothing hoping it was just harmless interaction, but I was wrong. First sign were polyps closing then some broken tissue and lashes missing. After that I decided to move the frags to another tank. Slowly, all seem to have recovered, but the mystery lies on one specific kind of zoas, a blue like with yellow center. The hurt polyps seem to also have recovered and are fully opened, but now they look completely different, now they look orange like with a florescent mouth…Has anybody ever seen such a radical change? Maybe is it just a stage in the process to full recovery to the original color? Any ideas?
Also as soon as I figure how/where upload pictures I will show you the whole process of change so you don’t have to rely just on my words.
Thanks in advance
Daniel
