They have been closed now for 3 days they are princess pinks

Need a better pic
But best bet is to dip them In Furan-2

pic isn't very clear so it's a little hard to diagnose what's going on... can you possibly get a better pic?

I would definitely do the Furan-2 dip as a precaution in case they picked up zoa pox from somewhere. If that doesn't work they may just be a picky colony. I've had colonies that just refuse to open and weren't diseased. Sometimes they just get mad.

Ok....

How old is the tank?

How are the other frags doing?

Have you checked your water parameters?

If so, whats your nitrate?

You can do a furan 2 dip just to be safe, it wont hurt them, but unless you know if your water is good for sure, it may do nothing.

Not to hijack but since it relates....I am about to start picking up my first zoas probably in the next couple weeks. Should I have certain things on hand like furan 2? What else should one have just in case?
