Hornet's nest!

[fab1971]

Just started collecting and have a crappy camera so please excuse the pics. Delivered from Sexy corals yesterday and were healthy, happy and fully opened within the hour. Very pretty! Can't wait till they pop some babies. Hopefully I'll pick up a few of my other favorites next month.

Sorry to hear that. Sucks when things like that happen. Any higher priced items I pick up from vendors or reputable sellers.

Thanks! Just noticed the Red one is getting ready to sprout a baby :smile:
All I need is the blue one and I can always trade for that one. If all goes well and they grow out I can trade down for some other zoos I've been looking for.

I'd like to get a little help if available. First is that the purple hornet has started closing up for most of the day. First day he was open and healthy all day on the sand. Second day took him longer to come out and each subsequent day he's opened less. I put him in a shaded part of the tank and will slowly acclimate him to the light again but is there anything else I can do? Is it the lighting or something else? Tank is doing great, all other inhabitants are fine and tested water last week with good results.
2nd thing is the red hornet definitely sprouted a baby. It was shipped to me 5 days ago and already spawned!!! any advise on the phornet would be helpful. thanks, frank.

when i got mine in it wouldn't open all the way until i blasted it with light. i dont know that this is a common remedy as it is the only zoa in my tank that i have very high up but it may help!

Thanks. I have it in the shade now and over the next two days will move it up.
