so this zoa is an utter chaos. and when i got it 2 months ago it had a skirt recently it just looks different. I don't know what's going on with it all my other zoas look great.

thanks! Logan

Agreed, it's just closing up. That said, you should still try to evaluate the cause. Alot of your other zoas are closed as well. Especially the ones at the bottom of the photo. Check your parameters to be sure. Zoas can be unpredictable at times but an entire colony remaining closed for a week strait or more is unusual. Something has to be causing it.

It has a skirt, it’s just short and/or retracted. You can clearly see the little tentacles/nodules of it.
