Zoos?

[tangy-tang]

I have an 8 gallon Bio-Cube that I am doing corals in for the first time. I have 4 types. I have hairy mushrooms, Xenia, frogspawn, and some zoos. My question is, everything seems to being doing great except the zoos. Only about half of them are opening up. The open ones look good but they wont all open at once like they did when I first got them. I figured out of all the coral I got zoos where the most hardy. Is that correct?
Thanks,
Mark

all softies are pretty much the same hardyness wise, do you have anything that might be crawling on the zoos? what are your pereimeters?? lighting?

The lighting is PC lighting. The zoos are near the top bye the light. I have 1 peppermint shrimp, 3 snails, and well, thats about it. Do I need to feed them something mabe?

how big is your tank and what is the wattage for the lights? do you have an algea problem in specific bubble algea?

 

[petieaztec]

the reason i ask about the bubble algea is because my buddy had a bad algea problem in his previous tank and after he transfered everything to his new tank and "brushed off" the bubble algea his zoos are now doing well.

did you do a freshwater dip on your zoos?

try putting the zoa's lower in the tank. I think it was viper that said he has his in the bottom of his tank and his are doing great. my zoa's are on the bottom of my tank and are growing like weeds.

just give the zoas some time and they should open back up just fine.
