what's wrong with my zoos

[baytran7]

i have about 10 types of zoos in my tank and all of them are doing great, water quality is good. i just got these this past weekend, here's a pic when i first got them.

here is one from this morning, all other zoos look just like the first pic except the multicolored one (the bad zoo)
lights are on so they're not sleeping.

It could be a ton of stuff but I seem to notice that my multicolors are the touchiest of them all, One rock I bought was not open at the store except for a few so I got a good deal, it took about a week and a half but then they all opened up and are still doing great. Yours may be stressed still because of the move or it even looks as though something may have been picking on them.

they look like crap right now and it's been 2 days like this, is there anything i can do to help get them going? i would hate for these guys to die on me.

the second pic looks darker... are you sure the lights are on? try adding trace elements maybe? my zoos were doing bad at some point and i added iodine to my tank. within 1-2 days they bouced right back. works for xenia too, thats how i came up with the idea. i would add some iodine and maybe even some strontium. hope this helps.

Are they getting enough flow? I have found that my multi-colored zoas hate getting tank-dust (no idea what the correct term for this is!) on them.
Moved them to ahigher flow area, and they are doing great. I think it is hard to have too much flow for zoas, although they seem to be very tolerant of numerous conditions. For me, the ones that sread fastest, are the ones with the most flow.

please dont add iodine or strontium to your tank..
most dont have a good test kit for these and its easy to overdose your tank... you wouldnt want all of your zoos to end up like that would you?

kent marine has iodine and strontium. they way the are set up is in a way that you cant really over dose. and as long as you put the right amount in there is no over dosing is there? i was just telling him what worked for me:happy: .
