Hi all! I’ve had my zoas for little more than a month and they’ve never fully open. I’ll post photos and parameters bellow. I have a 5gal pico tank successfully growing Leptoseris, Gorgonians, mushrooms and cyphastrea. I use RedSea Pro test kits -double checked by LFS with Hanna-. I’ve had them on the upper part of the tank with high flow, middle and actually they’re on the sand bed. I’ve used Seachem Iodine dip and found no parasites. Any ideas?
