Hello reefers
I recently purchased a zoanthid colony “armor of god mixed with what look to be small bob marley” and have been dealing with an issue since receiving them.
The zoanthid colony has a really long neck which isn’t the issue thought I would mention. I heard that comes from lack of light and zoanthid a teaching and received them in this condition.
The issue is they are closing up and expelling darkish sometimes light brown slime. Are they okay if they are closed while expelling this? Will the flow naturally remove this or will the zoanthid expel it all?
I should also mention there was a good amount of build up around their base which I cleaned yesterday which looked similar to leather coral sheddings.
They are in medium- low flow bottom of tank under viparspectra 165 w 46% blue 23% white in a 40 gallon breeder.
Thank you in advanced I really would love to get more zoanthid a and want to learn all I can. Stock is 5 small colonies armor of god&bob Marley mix, Green Bay packers, Sakura sunrise, 2 unID’d
