Hola a todos, saludos. Soy nuevo en el canal y me gustaría saber de quienes tengan experiencia con Zoanthus, ya que tengo algunos pero otros se están muriendo, y quiero tener Zoanthus en mi acuario. Adjunto imágenes de mi acuario. Gracias.

If you post your parameters, tank age, and flow that would be great. I find they can be finicky or super easy, no in-between

Es posible q te va pegar por no escribirlo en ingles, pero de todas formas. Parece q su acuario es mas nuevo, asi q puede esperar unos cambios de parametros q no se les mola tanto a los zoas. Mejor seria avisarnos de los niveles de NO3/PO4 y tal vez ALK. Edad del acuario. Y si hay ciertos peses y inverts q pueden molestar a los zoas. De los tipos q tiene, no veo nada tan sensible q va fundir diretamente. Q luz tiene? Si es demasiado fuerte o debil, van a decirselo--quiero decir, demasiada poca luz y van a extender arriba y demasiada alta luz y van a cerrar y de repente fundirse. Yo les cambio a otros sitios cuande se portan raros. Bueno, avisame si tiene mas preguntas y me puede escribir por mensaje direto si quiere seguir en castellano.

Hi, thank you so much for your help. I've had the aquarium since April of this year. The levels are: nitrates are above 50 ppm, phosphate is at 0.25 ppm, KH is 8.3, pH is 8.2, ammonia is 0, and nitrite is 0. There are about 10 hermit crabs. I see them climbing on top of each other, but I think it's to clean the area. The polyps reopen, but it's very difficult for them to grow.

Hello, I ask you when you mean Cuadal with a picture of the motorcycle bomb?

It just takes some time for them to really start growing. If they are opening up during the day, they're fine. If they stay closed all day, something is wrong and they should be moved or a water parameter needs to be corrected.

Not a problem. Just forum rules that posts be in English so that others can understand and help. They sometimes enforce the rule.

No, look for example I had 2 yellow zoas and they died and stayed closed, so recently the green zoa of the frag that has more quantity, that was dying and I made a bath with reef dip and I don't think it will get better, another thing I notice is that I apply 1 drop of reef iodide (potassium iodide) and I don't know my impression is that they opened some polyps that didn't open before, but the problem is that I don't have how to measure iodine parameters, and I'm afraid to admit without knowing how this levels, and the The point is that this whole issue of marine aquaristism is illegal in my country and there is no information on the subject anywhere, so I come to you because I see that you know a lot about the subject🙏🙏🙏

Your tank isn't overrun with algae despite being relatively new. Are you using a product to kill algae, or is it just being controlled by your hermits/snails?

What light are you using and what intensity setting?

What are the tank dimensions (length, width, height)?

We're all happy to help here.

Look, this is one of the yellow areas, they deformed and kept closed, some of them and so on until they disappeared and this photo is from May 21 and in about an hour I will make a video to upload it to the page to show everything I have, lighting lamp, skymmer, etc.

Have you noticed the emerald crab or any other crabs bothering your zoas? They can do that, especially when they don't have enough to eat. You don't have any algae on those rocks for the emerald crab to eat, so you might have to target feed the crab(s) a few times a day or they may decide to start munching on corals.

From the end of June, remove all the crabs except the hermit crabs.
