Fishy_Fun Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I know that i just got them but when can i expect them to open up?Thats of course if they live Link to comment
ddr_phish Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 It really depends on what they are. You can expect anywhere from a couple of minutes to two weeks depending on what species and how pissed off it is. A reasonable guestimation is 1-3 hours. Link to comment
Fishy_Fun Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Well there just zoa and they have been closed for over a day now Link to comment
cdelicath Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 What type of lighting? How did you acclimate them? Pictures? From my experience if they look like a hotdog they are just pissed, If they look kinda slinky or like they are melting they are toast..... Link to comment
Fishy_Fun Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hmm lets see There under the 36W dual satellite 12" fixture in a 3G pico I temp acclimated them and dropped them in.The water they were in was horrible so i tested the salinity and mine was the same so i added.I could get pics but it wouldn't show anything.Now when you say they look like a hotdog what do you mean?

cdelicath Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 let me get a pic hold on my light's are off for the night Link to comment
Fishy_Fun Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 LOL does that mean you getting a pic or waiting till tomorrow? Link to comment
BKtomodachi Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 A day is probably OK. Link to comment
ddr_phish Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Zoanthids can be really moody, in rare occurrences with me it has taken up to a week for certain Zoas to open up. Just wait it out Link to comment
cdelicath Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 VS I would watch them for at least 1 week before making any rash decisions regardless. Unless they get really nasty. I have had some looking pretty bad and they came back. Link to comment
Fishy_Fun Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Mine don't look long like that.Mine look more like the first pic but not as nasty looking Link to comment
cdelicath Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 those are picks of my paly's it's ok zoa's are more stubby they where the closest thing to the glass in my tank. Your's should look more like the one's in the bottom right corner of the first pic. the ones at the top are the bad ones. melting and spewing out. Link to comment
Fishy_Fun Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Ok looks like there might still be hope for them then.Though one thing i noticed is they all seem to be detaching from the frag which doesn't seem good Link to comment
cdelicath Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 how long ago where they fraged out? Link to comment
Fishy_Fun Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 I don't know i got them yesterday in the mail so im not sure Link to comment
cdelicath Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I have had some freshly fraged zoo's slime off the superglue on me. I would just leave them alone and let them heal. It might be a good idea to put them in a lower flow area for a bit. If they come unattached get some superglue gel and re-glue it. StevieT has a good sticky on how to do this. Link to comment
Fishy_Fun Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Your a life saver!Thanks so much for your help.When i need more help i'll know who to come to.THANKS!!! Link to comment
cdelicath Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I would not be where I am today with my tank without NR.... There's a ton of good info here and just a bit of BS. Just don't let anyone tell you to piss in your tank to start the cycle Link to comment
FishOnTheBrainCoral Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I bought a rock and being a noob I didnt know any better they didnt open up for like two weeks. I then posted some pics and found out they had hydroids... I removed the hydroids and then a week later they still popped out. I was suprised they came out of it but they did. here is a link to a pic when they were in they were in their worst. and in my sig is what they look like now...before Link to comment
cdelicath Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Let me know how that works for you. I got some cool Zoo's i'm getting ready to frag up cause they are growing like weeds. I will send you a few polyps. Link to comment
Fishy_Fun Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 I might just have to hit you up on that.Will make a post tomorrow about there condition.Thanks a bunch Link to comment
cdelicath Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 just PM me in a few weeks.. hopefully we will have better weather to ship in and I let all my frags sit for a few weeks and heal before I get rid of them. I hope to frag them up this coming weekend. You pay the shipping I will give you the coral. How long has your tank been up? What's your setup? You need to start a tank journal Link to comment
Fishy_Fun Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Right now i have a little 3G pico and i just set it up about 2 months ago after cycling i added these corals.I plan on buying an ADA 60P (roughly 17G)with T5HO.I plan on keeping a single Clownfish.Though i have been doing freshwater for almost a year.Do you have a freshwater tank?You can see the beginning of that tank here. http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171539 LOL reefing is addicting! Oops please look at the new link.I posted my smaller tank.This is the big tank.I started this one awhile ago but i haven't updated in awhile Link to comment
Fishy_Fun Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Sigh... they still haven't opened. Link to comment
