jesseatam Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 So these guys came in on tuesday looking a bit beat up, I know it can talk a while for them to open up but something just doesn't look right to me. I'm a big newbie when it comes to corals so any help is appreciated . This first pic is of the day they arrived while I was dipping them. These other two pics are from today. Quote Link to comment
GregEmmitte Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Just let them acclimate to lighting. Zoas are pretty hardy. I've bought some that didn't open for a month. Now they're only closed at night. 1 Quote Link to comment

Now they're only closed at night. Ah okay, I'm just a little worried because some of the smaller heads looked a bit crushed from shipping. Also it doesn't help that my first zoa I bought opened immediately so my expectations were high but I think that's because I bought it locally plus it was already kept under LEDs.

GregEmmitte Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 shipping is definitely a stress factor. In the wild a lot of zoas are close to shore lines and remain exposed to air and sun for extended periods of time. Low tide etc. 1 Quote Link to comment
