    How many zoo polyps would you be willing to trade and or shrooms? Also this would be be my first time shipping corals, any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. Do you think overnight shipping would be best?

    Dead Ricordea mushroom?

    lighting is the 24watt 50/50 that was standard on the jbj nano 12 gal. I have some zoos and the one mushroom. Maybe this isnt enough light, but I understood that zoos and shrooms dont need intense lighting like other corals.

Many people dont realize that some of the corals and anemones in their tanks can cause them harm, you must be very careful when handling them. I read about one man who apparently squished some...

    toxic zoos

    Thanks Bang Guy, Glad to hear that these zoos dont contain that toxin, I do use gloves when adding or moving anything in my tank. As far as the phytoplankton goes, I guess that was not a good idea to squirt them with it.

My question is the zoos were looking good a few days ago, after I fed them some phytoplankton, the next day they are closed and sick looking.
