first time looking at zoa

[bandit1994]

I am going tommrow to look at a zoa colony with 30 polyps what should I watch out for as far as signs of sickness and what it looks like I want see pix of healthy and not healthy zoas

 

[TheEngineer]

Healthy polyps are all opened fully. Watch for polyps that appear tightly closed like they want to pop. Watch for any signs they've been chewed on.

should I ask for a pic of the colony that they are selling

 

[TheEngineer]

I would certainly before driving anywhere.

Make sure you dip. There can be some nasties that like to hide between polyps.

what is the best dip for corals like zoas

 

[TheEngineer]

Hydrogen peroxide works well. I've just started using Bayer dips after I had critters survive the peroxide dip.

I use Two Little Fishes "Revive" and has worked great for me.
