mucus on zoa

[andresexr]

a friend of mine fragged a jungle juice zoa on thursday and gave it to me on saturday, only one of the polyps has opened, and the rest are closed and have this mucus like stuff over them. Also another one fell off and i found it in the sand, what does this mean, what do i do? By the way these are my first zoas ever. He also gave me some joker zoas that he fragged the same day and gave me the same day and they are doing quite well. Should I just wait? pls give answers. Thanks

Freshly fragged zoas may not open for a few days. You can gently blow them off with a turkey baster to remove any mucus, detritus, etc.

Yes. I find that my zoas don't like sand or detritus on them, so I regularly do that once a week or so as required.
