Turniping Zoas

[CaliforniaCrisp]

I have a lot of zoas that all look amazing! But lately I have been having a few turn inside out or what I call turniping. Attached is a picture of a sunny D doing it. What causes this when all my water parameters are good.

Thanks in advance!

My only guess would be not under enough lighting, so they are stretching to get more light.

I had zoas do this when they did not get enough light. I slower introduced them to stronger light and found a spot where they returned to normal.

That's the thing, they have been in this spot for over 8 months under LEDs. I just moved them to a even more intense spot. So we will see.


Thank u both for the comments.

Im aure theyll go back to normal. Ive personally never had any zoas do this to me but ive seen it. The ones i saw were in little to no flow. Idk if flow would have anything to do with it but could be a possibility. Just wait it out. Im sure they will go back to normal

Yeah some of mine did that when they went through a light blackout.

They do that when they need more light or are competing with other zoas for light lol. More light needed.

You can also tell they need more light by the length of their polyps in this case.

All this time I thought I was burning them. Thank you all! Turning up the lights!
