Find a very tiny straw, something like one that comes with WD40 cans. Unused of coarse.
If you can get hold of one you can place the zoanthid onto a clean paper towel. Make sure it is white and free of dyes and perfumes.
Next slightly pat dry the mouth area of the zoanthid being careful not to wipe too hard or you could inadvertantly damage the layer of tissue on the disc. TO dry the mouth area you will have to stimulate the zoanthid to open. This can be preformed by tickeling the bottom of its base with a small feather.
Once the mouth is exposed and you have gently wiped place the straw down into the mouth and give 3 gentle blows while having your partner massage at the base approx. .3 mm below the tenticles 4 times. Preform this until either you both relize there is nothing going to become of these actions, or you think you have killed the zoanthid.
Kidding. Just give it a few days. You will be amazed at the ability of the zoanthid to survive out of water as long as it has remained moist. Keep it in a moderate flow area, in a semi-shaded spot and do not bother it. Luck.
LMAO
