Thoughts on Zoa/Paly Recovery

[Keko21]

I recently just finished wiping out some dinos via silica dosing. During the process some of my zoas were not a fan of the silica, raised temp and may have been irritated by the diatoms. Dinos are now gone water changes done and all parameters are perfect. Some of the irritated zoas are very slowly starting to open, some seem a bit more reluctant to open up. Nothing seems like its melting, they are just closed up. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts or experience with zoas actually bouncing back after taking a rough turn?

I dosed silica in my tank and my zoas didn't flinch. I bet its something else and not the silica. Probably the raising of the temp. Curious why you did that part?

A couple articles floating around out there say that raising the temp to 83F significantly slows the reproduction of the dinos.

Seemed to help!
