Zoanthid Question

JR_Reefer · Aug 13, 2018

Got some Zoas about 3 weeks ago. Some of the heads have turned white in the center i do not believe its bleaching but can’t quite find an answer I’m looking for online. Any thoughts? Should i be concerned? Water Params are in check. Salinity is .025

Welcome to R2R!

Please post some pictures and provide the details of your water parameters and we can try and help. How old is your tank and what lights are you using?

Could be 100 diff things from pests to water to lighting

DO YOU DOSE ANYTHING?

if you are talking about the ones on the left, I believe you have 2 different types mixed into the same colony. nothing to be concerned about

Agreed, your zoas are not changing. You have 2 different morphs there. Zoas can change patterns but it's still nothing to worry about.
