Temperature question

[tresguey]

So I just received a shipment of zoas from an online seller while I was at work. I asked my wife to bring them in the house. She noticed the outside of the box said perishable. She thought she would do a good thing and unbox them and place them in our refrigerator. You know, so they don't go bad. They were in the refrigerator for about 3 hours. Do we think these can be saved?

Live and learn I guess...lol

It’s always worth a try to acclimate. Some zoas are sensitive. Others are pretty resilient. They say colder is generally better than hotter, I guess it might depend on how cold the water actually got.

^agree with this.

Assuming you acclimated last night, how are they doing?

All but one are showing good signs, but I have had zoas take 3-4 days to open up. Better than I was expecting for sure.

Good news. Glad to hear things are looking good.
