Zoo' and Polyps Keep Dying

[tank12502]

I am on my third try now with zoo's and polyps. I am able to keep all other types of corals but these. They seem to dye off or start dying off on the third day. I checked my water and had my local guy check, all good. I can not figure it out. Any suggestions?

Where are you placing them in the tank and what kind of lighting do you have??

Did they check for calcium? What are u feeding them? What else is in your tank?

Also look for sundial snails, they love to munch on zoo's and polyps

Well you can rule out the snails if they are dying in three days, there is a water born pathogen that can live dorminant till zoo's are intruduced. I would suggest to look into dosing vitamin C, which just doesn't help zoo's fight off all kind a problems but its heathly for all other corals too.

anyways, whats your salinity?
Edit, looks like an older post.. i guess that bot is really trying to get its post count up haha

Could flow be an issue too? I have found when my zoo isn't doing well it's usually because I have placed it in a home that doesn't have enough flow.

same exact problem here, had too much hair algea and it was taking all the nutrients form the water, also my pump's impropellor was rusting contaminating the water
