Zoa help

[Matthieu366]

Hi I’m new to reefing and my zoas seem to be doing something weird but my others are fine can anyone help?

Welcome Mathew! When did you get them? If they are new than they will usually stay closed for a few days. Any signs of critters, pests or fish/inverts bothering them?? What kind of flow and lighting are they getting? It would also be helpful if you listed your parameters.

Happy reefing!

Looks like mine after hermit crabs walk all over. I think they’re fine, just irritated from something.

it may be the tiger conch eating some of the algae between the polyps now that i think about it.

Go with that, it sounds about right. My nassarius snail always does that to my zoas.

that could be it! keep an eye on it and let us know if anything seems off.
