GMK HELP

[Alex's Nano Reef]

Never before have I seen a Zoa do this it almost looks as if it’s the Zoa is inside out. Does anyone now what this is and what it could be caused by or just GMK random bad luck.

I’m thinking of dipping it but I have yet to get any kind of real idea of what’s going on

Dip it. Not much to lose at this point. Yes they can crash.

If you think it will survive a dip then dip it. I would probably just let it be from pics alone, it looks rough.

Ud b surprised at some coral resiliency. This Amazeballs was crashing out but a dip, stable
parameters and lower flow and light it rebounded in a positive way.

I hope it will pull through I might give it a light dip and let it rock. But it was open yesterday and looked like this today. Plus I got some pretty hard to keep corals doing well so I can’t imagine what it can be. I’m sending out a ICP in a week or two so maybe they could reveal some clues.

Are you keeping these under low white , heavy blue lighting? Looks like its expelling zooxanthellae which is its color and energy source due to low light and may or may not make it. I would if you are going to dip try 3% peroxide first before actual dips or iodine.

I am not sure if it would cause Zoas to be that unhappy, but in my tank of bubble algae get close to zoa the bubble algae would eventually win without my intervention.
3% hydrogen peroxide is great for most types of algae but not sure of effectiveness against bubble algae
GMK beautiful Zoas, if they die u can cop some predator Zoas, they look very similar for much less money
Best of luck to you

Yeah ive came to the conclusion that the zoa is spitting its guts out basically I found a few older forums where joshporksandwich recommended doing a dip in very cold saltwater to make it pull its stomach back in and give it a better chance to survive. I'm gonna o that and a little revive too just in case anything is on the actual zoa and if it doesn't work i gonna go get some iodine and other dips.
