TL: DR Zoa are looking bad post shipping anything I can try?
I recently received a shipment of zoas, best packing I've ever seen in my life, I have total faith in the seller. Edit: I'm 100% sure the zoa we're submerged the whole time, the box was highly insulated, and the heat pack was still warm on arrival.
However F**kEx delayed the package for a day and a half so there was some definite stress involved and all the zoa remain closed. Normally I pest dip before adding but based on the time they were delayed I did a temp (floated bags for 30 min) and chemistry acclimation (did some tank water/shipping water exchanges before adding them to the tank.
A day later I did do a 6 minute MediCoral dip. But I'm wondering if there's anything else to try.
Lights are set to acclimation mode, zoas are on the bottom with medium flow.
I have litte faith this one will make it
I'm on the fence if this one will make it
These two I think might turn out ok
