Abzdot Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Hi, I got these zoanthids a few days ago and they were doing very well but now they seem like they’re dying! i have 2 clownfish and this is my only coral. I also don’t dose. my parameters are at: Kh: 6-7 (I know they’re low and am going to fix that) Calcium: 440-480 Phosphate: 0ppm 1 Quote Link to comment

They can take a while to settle in. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
mitten_reef Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Looks fine to me. And don’t dose anything unless you know you need it. Your ONE coral is a zoa which DOES NOT require cal or kh to grow. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

I have a bunch of small colonies which took about 4 months to settle in, they are now starting to show there nice colors and reproduce. 1 Quote Link to comment

Candymancan Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Zoas generally like a dirty tank.. .meaning phosphates and nitrates. The ones you have are the first ones ive ever got when i started as well. Theyre called fire and ice. Theyre really hardy. Keeo them in low to moderate flow and low to medium light and get the phosphates up by feeding the tank more Quote Link to comment
