First Zoas

[snickers104]

Got my first Zoas this weekend, they are some eagle eyes, one frag has about 10 heads on it with a green striped mushroom on the other side of the rock, another frag has three smaller heads of eagle eyes on it.
The smaller frag opened right up and is staying open all the time, but the larger frag opened alright but started to close up and open up back and forth yesterday. Is this normal, or do I need to try to place it somewhere else in the tank?

Tank parameters:

Ca--450
Salinity--1.025
Alk--11
Amonia--0
Nitrite--0
Nitrate--10
Ph--8.0

Is it right besides the shrooms?

 

[snickers104]

No other side of the rock

I got a shroom thats all up on my bam bam's and some fire and ice and it doesnt seem to be doing any damage.

I hade Shrooms kill some zoas that were on the same rock together.

 

[snickers104]

Wow, should I pull the mushroom off?

 

[650-IS350]

The only way shrooms can kill polyps are if they shade them and starve them of light.

Ok, thanks, I will leave them alone for a while and see how they do, I might try moving them around somewhere else in the tank.

should be fine

Yep, they opened all the way up and look fantastic! I guess just a little too much flow for them where they were at.

Thanks.
