Hello all
I got these two zoa colonies about 6 months ago. They were both doing fantastic till about 1 month ago.
First I can't seem to tell if I have aiptasia ? Or something else? Some seem white some seem brownish. The zoa on the right seems to have some white little arms coming out the left bottom. The one of the left has a bunch on the top that looks brownish and white.
Also the polyps seem to have stopped opening and look kinda brown so I can't tell if they are dying or not. I have blown them off with syringe and I know there is no detritus on them.
The tank is 9 months old. 75 gal with canister filter and LED lights. Not the best lights on the market since they were a gift but my leather frogspawn 2 mushrooms and pulsing xenia all have been doing great and look awesome. Its only the zoas that look like poo.
I checked for pests and couldn't find anything other than these possible aiptasias
Any insight would be great. Thank you.
Parameters
Alk: 10.8
Ph: 8.0
Ammonia:0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 2.5
Calcium 380
Salinity 1.024
Mag 990
I know my calcium and mag are low. I've been working on getting them up from water changes but I wouldn't think either would effect zoas to much
