Can a zoa move?

[Born2beblack]

Okay so feeling dumb cause i swear i never re goued these zoas, beside when i glued them to my rock

But they arent on the glue that the plug has like there next to it

Ive had them awile they naybe got pulled off by a snail but just confused

You can see the old glue and the enpty area they used to reside

They can’t move on their own. I have had some that were poorly glued when I received them and snails, urchin, sea hare, or the flow knocked them off

Its odd cause they are literally a cm or 2 over and no glue under them im like nah theh wwre gkued i can see the hole they made in the glue
But yea guess it let go and they re taged on

Theyre stationery but of superglue was used, it may have softened allowing the polyp to float away somewhere in the tank

Zoas and mushrooms do move slowly if they don’t like the lighting or the flow. Has happened several times especially on a plug. It is gradual though over days.

They do move, very slowly..I’ve had them walk off plugs that I’ve glued to marble to grow out, and the heads have separated and started to bud new heads.
