Drooping/Folding outward Zoanthids

[Manpeckz]

Does anyone have any interesting articles/threads or even personal anecdotal solutions they have seen to drooping?

It seems the discussion is somewhat limited and it may just randomly happen. I have experienced mine do it before and am having two or three polyps from a particular frag that are drooping now.

Any experience with this would be nice to hear.

I’ve only seen mine do it if they are shaded or low light.

I've had it happen randomly a few times. They usually perk back up with a day or two if your parameters are all in-spec.

Okay this is certainly interesting.

They happen to sit in the top 1/2 or 1/3 of the tank, dead center. The most interesting thing I’ve read is possibly they are just starving. Which sort of makes sense, give yourself the most surface area to filter with?

My nutrients have been undetectable lately. My feeding is realistically the same if not even more than usual because I just started some LPS foods every 3-4 days. So I’m probably going to overfeed for a couple days to see if they change at all.
