Zoas zapped in water?

[pdmxb2000]

so was doin some work on my biocube and got lazy and one of the fan wires went into the water, with power on for about an hour. its 12 volts and all of my zoas have been closed for 3 days now. ive done 2 idodide dips and they still dont seem to be recovering. kinda a little green growing on them now. are they dead and the green is them dying, or should i give it a few days. my xenia in my tank died as well, but my shrooms, rics, fish, are all alive. and it seems the snails that were on the glass bit the dust as well but none of my other snails died. any suggestions or ideas?

Do you flatworm Exit? If you do, give that dip a try too.

i dont think its pests, because all my zoas were open and doing great until this happened, so im almost positive its a direct result of the zapping

 

[spiderwoman]

Even if it's not pests, these dips have a envigorating effect on polyps.

ya i did another dip im gonna give it till at least the weekend to see what happens

you might try running some carbon or doing some water changes.Its a shot in the dark but it might help.Also if they are starting to grow algae,Take a fine toothbrush and try scrubbing it off.The algae will only promote infection and hinder their revovery

also if you could take a picture and post it that would help alot

i always run carbon in my system. ill do a water change today and after the water clears up ill take some pics of the zoas...they still arent open again this morning...the only zoas that made it are my fire and ice zoas..

 

[pdmxb2000]

But these fire and ice are fine? lost a little bit of the blue color but are open and fine

i would say give it some time.It looks and sounds like they went through hell.Like i said before thou if they start to get covered in algae brush it off.Also keep doing water changes.They dont look to terrible so i think they should come thru for you

 

[pdmxb2000]

so u dont think them being so closed up and not opening at all is a bad thing? i mean it doesnt look like they are rotting or anything...and i do a water change once a week

 

[mushroomss]

well its not a great thing but they are probably just really stressed out and recovering.As long as you dont see decay or oozing from the polyps they should open up eventually and be ok

 

[pdmxb2000]

okkk thanks alot...ill post again in a few days with the progress or lack there of
