New tank, added a zoa coral.

[Pimba]

Hello all, my first post here and new to saltwater aquariums (had a fw planted tank before)

My tank is still new (being running only for 2 days) but I added a few zoa polyps. They opened up after adding but one is looked a bit curled from the sides now. Anyone know why is that?

Tank is way new for corals. Usually a good idea to wait until it’s cycled to add coral. But Zoa can pretty much live in a mud hole so they may be ok.
Also, that curling is just then trying to decide if they want to open all the way or not. Mine halfway close like that when they’re spooked by my fish or they feel me close the door to the tank stand.

I saw some videos on YouTube that I can be done with some indicator corals and some snails. So I'm just trying to see if it works or not.
