Just a Couple Observations

[ssick92]

Hey everyone,

About 2 weeks ago I put it in a frag of some Pink Passion zoas. Well it looks like I am getting 2 new polyps. The big polyp opens temporarily but then closes most of the day to expose the 2 new polyps to the lights. Is this normal behavior for how zoas duplicate?

Also, do you think I should move these Sunny Delights? They are right in a crack in the rocks where my 5" Starry Blenny likes to camp out apparently. He basically just sits there with his fins in the zoas and most of the time they end up closing up. Will this hurt the growth of these beautiful palys or will they continue to grow out in different directions to get away from him?

I don't see any problem with the one in the first picture.
I wouldn't move the other polyps because of the Blenny if they are attached to a big rock, unless they really close up and/or get damaged by it. If it's relatively easy to move them around you could just do it.

Ya I didn't think anything was wrong with the first picture just cool to see how new polyps make way for themselves.

And ya they are still on a frag plug and I can move them easily. I will probably do so tomorrow

i would say move them just incase but i really like that blenny, cool to see fish and coral like that

Ya I ended up just moving them about 5" to the left. I was able to find a nice little perch for them.

And ya I love the Starry Blenny but I think he is almost too big for my tank now and I kinda want to get rid of him and get a Tailspot or Lawnmower

I would leave the zoas where they are if you get the blenny out.

I've been trying for a couple weeks to get him out. Just can't get myself to take all the rocks out. I'll just have to be opportunistic
