Do different color morphs of Zoanthid have different lighting requirements? I have a couple frags of zoa, one is called dragons eye and the other is scrambled eggs. I had them right next to each other and the dragons seem happy and the scrambled eggs don't. I moved the eggs to a little bit higher flow area yesterday, but so far they don't seem any happier. They are reproducing slowly, but often some of the polyps are closed. There is about 7 or 8scrambled eggs and about 20 dragons eyes.. they both started off with about 5 and 9 respectively... any thoughts\insights... thanks

i have never had that problem. i think that maybe it is just taking the scrambled eggs longer to adjust to your tank than the dragons eye.

try moving them closer to your lights, also spot feeding something like reefroids never hurts
giving it a try... i used to have some neon blue zoos that i was told needed more light than most morphs. maybe its the same with the scrambled eggs. i do have a low par light... only about 40 par at the substrate, which is where i have them sitting
