if the zoas dont wanna open, by dipping them it should help. many of my local reefers do it.

OH...I always thought dipping was just to get unwanted stuff off...

nissan577 · Dec 13, 2009

that too. but it also works to help them open, idk why

Yeah my zoas are getting messed up badly by something...
If its just pox should I do a F/W dip? Is its some unknown pest will it just eat my zoas and nothing else?

dont do F/W dip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just iodide dip them!

there have been amphipods that have been known to eat zoas and stuff. but if theyre not opening up, you want to dip it in a solution and not fw because the solution can stop the bacteria if its present. you sure you dont have some kind of small nudi eating ur stuff?
