[choward1980]

Im new to Saltwater. I recently added a Zoa and the first 2 days it looked great. Now half of it is closed up and will not open. I have a Biocube 29 with stock lighting. I have 2 clowns, a yellow clown golby, 22 lbs of rock. Can anybody help me out with this issue. Thanks!!!

How Long has it been Closed for?

I would Dip it in Revive and Inspect.

Could be a Number of things.

Bacterial Infection
Fungal Infection
Zoanthid Eating Nudibranchs
Zoanthid Spiders
Sundial Snails
Zoa Pox
Mites

So may things go after Zoanthids (More than any other Coral).
