cherry bomb zoo

[janicebembry]

I bought a cherry bomb zoo off internet. First day opened up a little bit, but 2nd and 3rd days hasn't opened up at all. This is the 4th day, and so far it looks all shriveled up- no signs of opening. Is it time to just chunk it?
I have a new pink zoo bought bought at same time and its doing fine. I also have a green-eyed zoo and a clay zoo which are older and are beautiful! Sorry I don't have a camera. When do you know for sure it's dead?
Thanks!

I've had zoas die after shipping before and left them in the tank in hopes they would come back ok. It doesn't sound good, based on your description, but don't give up. You'll know they're dead when you don't see the polyps anymore. Your cleanup crew (especially any pods that you have growing in your LR) will take off with the dead stuff. Hope that helps.

if they look like normal polyps you leave em in or send em to me for inspection....they can take a while to adjust sometimes. You'll see them start getting cloud and start tearing apart...double check to make sure there are no sundials, nudibranchs, spiders, etc.
