OkcKoolaid Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 you might keep an eye on your corals sometimes you get the asternias that like to eat coral i had some and every now and again i see one trying to eat a zoo so just watch out , but from what i hear is that most people dont have the ones that try to eat coral Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 if they are on some corals just pull them off. they usually find a way to your filtration system and stay in there Link to comment

marinebiologist Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 my zoas arent opening up all the way. would the current be to strong for them? Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 they sometimes take a while to open. check for nudi's or other parasites if they dont open up in a few days. if still dont open up, the do a FW dip. taht worked for mine Link to comment
marinebiologist Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 the ones that were already in my tank arent open. do they have to get used to the strong current? Link to comment
