Help. Half of my ZOA's not opening.

Look to right... Half polps not opening...why?

 

[Carl Page]

All my parameters are good and salinity at 1.026. My only questionable is temp crept up to 79-80

Is this a common repeating thing or just happened one time? Could be something walked across it or irritated that side? I had a colony do this that my goby carpet bombed with sand, I think they took in some of the sand and it took 4 or 5 days for them to open back up but they are fine now.

That may be it... A lot of snail's in area lately... But I assume everything OK cause of other half

 

[Mael]

yah, i would think as long as you dont see anything foreign on it I would give them a cpl days to open back up, mine can stay closed for half a day when the turbo snail rubs them or crawls over them, little less time when the crab or shrimp run across them.

Are there any other corals near that side that could be stinging it at night?

There wasn't but of course I wake up this morning and an anemone had moved into the neighborhood... Lol
