Zoa changed color?

Tristan · Nov 2, 2015

I have this small frag that I've had for a while now. About 2 weeks ago all of the polyps closed up for like 1-2 weeks. When they open up the skirt of the Zoas are orange when they used to be purple. Is this possible? I don't have a before pic of them which sucks.

It happens they morph sometimes

Yeah that's true , I've had them close up sometimes for days then when they open color is gone. It's almost like they ring the color right out of their self

So i have these fight back palys. I call them that cus i got them over a year ago and they have been through alot with all my newbie tank fouls . we are currently dealing with green hair algae but they just keep hangin on. They are almost completely hot pink in the middle ring wut kind are they. I wanna save them so bad

I mean i think of it as these might be the last 6 polyps of these beautiful corals in the world . and i want them to thrive so i can frag them and share them with others.

I have my own name for them cotton candy warriors . that's wut i say to them every time i clean the hair algae away from them

I have an ugly green colony that gets a blue center ring when I dose vinegar. Not sure why but it's a very distinct difference.

Ben little79 · Nov 6, 2015

Im not really that advance yet with the dosing. I use two part . oceansblend. I have a very nice green bay packer colony small frag of radioactive dragon eye descent size colony of watermelon. The pinkies and a three more un named zoos. How does this vinager thing work.

It's for nitrate/phosphate reduction. Google carbon dosing. I think I also read that it reduces Zooxanthellae which covers corals so my guess is something in that changes the colors.

These are the unnamed ,not sure traded a couple corals for these. Honestly they are getting big in my fuge. And its pretty dirty down there. Maybe i should put those pink ones down there.
