How can you tell if a Zoa is dying?

[fishfreak1242]

I am going to buy my first coral soon, which will be some kind of zoa, and I was curious to know what a zoa looks like when its dying. Thanks.

they close up then kinda turn a brownish color on the tip then get gooey(SP), and then either just melt or goo out and then you just throw it out..at least thats how my one green people eater died

if they do not open, they are dying. if the colony is losing zoos, they are dying.

Doesn't sound like you have much faith in keeping corals. That's like asking for the name of a divorce lawyer on your wedding day.

That a good one. Zoas I think are really hardy so it isn't that easy to get rid of them unless the waters bad because they don't need that much flow or intense light. I am sure you will have good luck with them

I just want to know in case they do start dying and I don't know it.
