A couple weeks ago I tried phosguard to help fight an algae outbreak in my mixed reef. after a couple days I noticed both of my zoas closed up. All other coral are doing well, so I continued phosguard use for a week before removing. Replaced with plenty of carbon to try to get any contaminants out of the water, and have done water changes.
The I have a couple polyp frag that has been pretty much back to normal, open most of the time, but the other frag/colony (15 polyps) has only had maybe half of it's polyps open or less at a time, and always seems to by the sames ones. The polyps that do open don't open as wide as they used to before phosguard. Oddly though, even though they haven't opened much in the last week, I have noticed that they are still multiplying (11 polyps to 15 in a little over a week). Didn't grow at all during phosguard use.
Is there anything I can do to get the polyps to start opening again, or is there little hope that they will go back to the way they were?
Thanks
