Need help with my zoa

[Sethuram]

My zoas have been closed for 1 week now,

All the other corals are looking good and healthy.,

Any idea to bring it back., quite expensive

Move it away from the Goni some. Gonis can be aggressive and it could be stinging the Zoas.

This zoa was at different place and there was some brown pest i believe was on top., so I coral dipped this zoa and moved to the bottom recently., The goniapora was also moved from a different place to fix it in a rock

Flow, light intensity, and pests/fish/CUC can all make a Zoa close up. If it's been closed for a week, that's definitely a concern. Zoas are resilient though. Looks like they're still alive, just not happy.

Any suggestions to make it happy my other zoas are doing great

Does it have algae growing between the polyps? Occasionally I have to Hydrogen Peroxide dip my frags to get rid of algae.

I use the 10 parts tank water to 3 parts hydrogen peroxide, dip for 5 minutes while occasionally "stirring" with a turkey baster.

I use 3% I believe. Just the standard brown bottle from Walmart.

If that's not algae, you might be able to blow it off with a turkey baster.

 

[Sethuram]

Oh great, i can see it is like brown layer

Try blowing it off with a baster - it could be detritus, Dinos, or Cyano and not algae.

Okie, I will try also blowing off and use peroxide for dip.,

How are your zoas doing? I am having the same issue and I’m wondering if I should dip them. They won’t open up. I have move them higher, lower.
