Hey all. So, I'm at a loss. Everyone knows that when introduced to a drastically different environment, zoanthids can change, but! Not nearly to the extent of what is happening here. Also, I've had these things for a long time.
So, I've got two palys and some zoas on a frag. And just recently I've less and less zoas but palys multiplying at an alarming rate; 5 in the last two weeks. And then, I noticed something shocking: the palys took the place of the zoas!! So just to make sure my eyes weren't in need of repair I isolate a zoa nearest to a paly. 2days later, low and behold, a paly took the place of the zoa!!! What is this black magic?? (Also, I dissected the isolated one to make sure it was indeed a paly, and same with another zoa).
Thanks.
