Hey everyone. I recently dragged my GMK zoas and the mother colony and one of the drags isn’t opening up well. Looks unhealthy.
One drag with 3 heads looks healthy.
I fragged them 2 weeks ago, dipped in iodine and coral recover.
Any suggestions?

Sometimes the tissue can get infected, irritated by the glue. Doesn't hurt to do another lugol's dip. You can also sprinkle some chemi-clean for extra insurance. Those both make for a very mild dip.

Do me a favor and let me know when you frag that spellbinder -wooza!

I see two suspects. One is the possible vermitid snail that could be bothering the zoa. Also see some white flakes/spots on one zoa, I’d take a close look.
