A Stinging Feeling; Hollywood Stunner.

[rlracing2]

I recently picked up a frag of Hollywood Stunner Chalice from my LFS. I've heard countless stories and seen many a YouTube video about how LONG the sweepers can actually be. However, I thought the placement over the weekend was about near perfect. Not to pat myself on the back or anything, because after coming into the office this morning I noticed some Zoas acting particularly odd. I haven't seen this behavior from any Zoa colonies, especially this one which has grown quite a bit and never fussed about much.

Can anyone confirm or deny that the new Stunner frag is or might be stinging these guys? (Pardon the crappy iPhone picture.)

I would bet the stunner is stinging those at the top. I have the hollywood stunner and often regret putting it in my tank. It is a force, and very quick to encrust on the rock. I often see the sweepers estended up to 5 inches when lights are off.

It might be stinging the zoanthids, but the only way to know for sure is to observe the tank at night with a flashlight. If it's not the Hollywood Stunner then you might want to check your zoanthids for pests.
