Zoas not looking quite right

[jspine01]

Hey guys,

I have a colony of eagle eyes that has been doing very well in my tank for a couple of months.

It has been spreading like crazy, and one edge is getting pretty close to my frogspawn.

Today the colony doesnt look all that great. Some polyps are half closed and others are doing that weird thing where they try to close but turn all wrinkly instead and just shrink. It looked fine yesterday.

Everything else in the tank looks normal.

So my question is, if a few polyps get stung by a frogspawn, would it affect the whole colony, or just the polyps that got stung?

Thanks!

I've found that when a few zoas of a colony are irritated it can affect the whole colony.

Have you checked to see if the frogspawn is sending out sweeper tentacles ? You may have to move the frogspawn.

It did start sending one sweeper out on the other side, opposite the zoas.

I am gonna have to figure something out, I really think they got stung.
