I bought florida lime green zoanthids three days ago. The employee at the LFS told me that they had just received the shipment. I brought the zoos home and they looked beautiful and healthy. I quarantined for one day to look closely for anything bad. Yesterday I dipped them an 3 gallons of RO water at 78% with 10 drops of Lugol's Solution. I left the zoos in the mixture for 5 minutes. Then I put them in my tank.
They still have not opened. It has only been one day but ive never done this before so I dont know if they were supposed to open right away. I can see the middle neon mouth but the skirts wont come out. All other corals in my tank are doing great. Fish are great.
I had my water tested today and all perameters are good. Calcium is 450 and I added 3 drops of Kents Calcium today (i have a 75G tank).
Do you think the Zoos will be ok? How long does it normally do zoos take to open when they are freshly introduced to a tank? When should I start worrying that they are dying? what should I look for as symptoms of dying zoos?
