    Right, i love my little guys, they're so lively.
    The polyps dont smell. Will they really be able to recover if nothing picks at them?

    i've heard of zoas surviving two months with out light, they bleach like yours are then they slowly get back there color. if there is a coral that will survive its either zoas or mushrooms.

    edit i wouldn't recommend trying to have zoas go with out light for that long. the guy i talked may have just been lucky

    I Think im gonna have to find another LFS, the guys at mine are complete D!cks. They will tell you anything you wanna hear just to make a sale. And their livestock is handled poorly. Try watching some guy dip his hand in a tank and chase around a poor fish and then grab it by the tail, ripping it then saying "It'll grow back" with a shrug and throwing it into a bag!
