I’ve had these two particular zoas for some time now and they seem to be doing good but they don’t always fully extend and I’m not too concerned since they do open and color is good. Also both zoas have sprouted new polyps. The Sunny D’s grew multiple polyps, and the zoas grew two new polyps. I don’t know why they are not fully extending because I do dip in hydrogen peroxide in a 5:1 ratio. So I don’t think they are being irritated. Any suggestions? Some of the Sunny D’s are closed because I had my hand in the tank but the basic idea is that they don’t fully extend there skirts

When zoas have long stalks it’s because they are wanting more light (like your sunny d) the Rastas don’t need more light that’s why they seem to not reach up
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
