Zoas Never Fully Opened

I would freshwater dip that baby! I did the dip before I placed it into QT and got a nudi off. Problem with nudi's are that they can lay eggs and the eggs can be on there for days and very little will kill the eggs

I FW dipped my zoa, placed it in my QT tank and will dip it again on day 3 (tonight) and then wait another week and dip again.

I lost a large eagle eye colony due to nudi's. Same with MEN (monti eating) I did not dip this beautiful large brown cap and lost EVERY monti in my system. Had to go without them for about 6 months because of this.

 

i had a set that werent opening i put em on my sand bed and they open fully everyday now also im not sure of the tank to light ratios but im using a metal halide bulb u may not have enough lighting? dont quote ome on that tho

 

How do I do a freshwater dip? And for how long?

Am I supposed to see anything falling off after the dipping?

Thanks!

 

I don;t know if anyone pointed it out but MAYBE they're being stung by the aiptasia on the plug to the right of the colony..........

 

See if there are any more of these guys.......

 

Oh God, those are AIPTASIAS?? At first there were only 2 on the Zoas, now there're one or two more around the tank. Oh dear.

Kill them with... fire? Seriously?

I can buy some Joe's Juice and squirt them with it right?

 

inject them!

 

Zoaas get pissy. It may be the aiptasia.. I don't think it is. Might partially close or close the polyp the aiptasia is touching.

 

Givem time.. movem lower. Baste em! Time

 

Squirted some water over my zoas yesterday and today, some of the previously unopened ones are opening! ;D
