Sunny D zoas not growing

[A Toadstool Leather]

I have them mid way on the tank with my kessil a350 running at 50%. My orange bam bams next to them are growing well along wity everything else. Should I have them higher up? I dont want to increase the intensity since I have sone low light corals too.

I have my Bam Bams midway up and Sunny D's in the sand bed. Using Htdra 52

Mine like being up at the top of my scape, running a Maxspect Ethereal on a IM Nano 20.

How long have they been in your tank and how many polyps? Mine took a month to get going from a single polyp.

How are your trace elements testing? Are you dosing anything if needed, good salt on water changes?

They have been in the tank for 2 months.

I do weekly 5 gal water chsnges on my 30 gallon.

I'd give them a little while longer, I suspect they are still getting used to the tank. Zoas are finicky like that sometimes. Can you post any pictures?

Depends sometimes on the Salt Mix brand in some cases, Maybe the flow differs in the spot there located at

I dont have a real camera so no.

Could more flow or light help? Everything in my tank is growing and alkalinity, ca, and mg are normal.

I agree. I didn't have that problem with the Sunny D's but the orange Zoas ( lfs called them Pumpkin Patch) right under them stalled for 3 months before growing.

i have a huge patch growing on the bare bottom, they seem to catch a lot of uneaten fish food. id say you do more than enough w/c's...id just give it some time.

Those pumpkin patch zoas look pretty sweet!
