Hi All,

quick question on zoa frags. A lot of times when i buy new zoas i get them acclimated, dip them in coral RX, and in the water and just a few polyps stay closed. Overall Id say the frags looks healthy with the exception of a few polyps (see below). Is this typical and something that just sorts itself out?

Yep. Coral can take months to properly adjust in another tank biome. Especially after a pest dip.

Ur zoa looks fine to me... my experience w zoas are they can be fussy and took a while for me to figure out which tank location they liked. so I stopped adding them to my tank. :(
