Integracer Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I picked up a rock with 2 different color zooanthids on it about a week ago. Both types of zoos looked the same except for the colors. At the store, both types were were partially opened up. The guy at the store said they had come in the mail the day before and were still a little shocked from the shipping. After aclimating them and adding to my tank, the orange colored ones gradually opened more and more and are now doing great. But, the other half of the rock with yellow zoos opened less and less and now have not opened at all for about 5 days. What is going on? Everything else in my tank is acting normal. Why would half the zoos be fine and the other half not? Is there anything I can do? Here is a pic of what they look like this morning Link to comment

LIGHTLY. Link to comment
