25 Reasons why your polyps won't expand.

- Start date
Bumping since there are some folks who have posted that their zoas are closing up.
bam
This would be the "where the hell did everyone go? Is this thing on?" bump.
Oh, lol, I figured I might as well since I've got no zoa stuff to share...yet. 
And where the heck is Mucho? He responds to questions on this thread alot of times.
Mucho?

"23. Amphipods, which I have only witnessed eating sick, dead, dying, decaying polyps. Doesn’t mean they won’t eat perfectly healthy ones, I just haven’t witnessed it, some have."
The pods that did this to me looked much different than other pods in the tank.
Also, I saw/experienced some red/brown looking things not on your list, maybe some other type of crustacean that "jumped" off in a freshwater dip.

The FWD will cause everything on the rocks to come off, bristle worms, crustaceans other pod like animals etc, and they aren't necessarily zoanthid predators. It's a sacrificial price we pay as a result of the dip to try and rid our tanks of the predators which can reek such havoc.

Mucho 100% agree. In my case, the polyps that were closed had probably 2-3 of these red/brown things on them - I'm sure several were on the rock but I don't see them anywhere else in the tank or on other zoa's (which are open) in my tank. I need to ask for a microscope for Christmas =)

i saw this was brought up but i didnt see an answer. stray voltage? how necessary is it to use a grounding probe? i dont really want to get a gfci installed because ive heard of horror stories of it tripping even when theres no problems, and i've heard that you cant run a grounding probe without a gfci?
I've had a grounding probe for as long as I've own a reef tank with no problems at all and I don't have a GFI.

If a gfi is tripping, there is a problem. Either with a appliance or the way it was wired or with the house wiring.
They just don't trip for no reason.
I've always used a ground probe, atleast as long as they have been available.
My first fish tank actually had a metal frame. Boy did that cause problems once in a while .lol
