Zoanthids closed and starting to deteriorate

[kamakazian]

My zoa's have been closed for several weeks now. I've tried changing its location in the tank a few times, thinking it was a lighting or flow issue. I tried a dip in Lugol's solution yesterday, but still very much closed. Any thoughts on what might be going on or how to perk them back up?

Coral dip fx pro helpt me with similar problem

Oof. Spider mites don't sound good. Though from what I looked up, I couldn't find any... Unless it's this red blobby thing. Several fell off after another Lugol dip... Some back into my tank [emoji54]http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/57e41aadf2eb9/20160922_115127.jpg?

try a different spot of flow and ligh.

Do you know what your No and Po are?

I do like to look at food light and flow first. zoas ar picky devils, and I dont know why they call them easy.

And hey welcome to reef2reef!

Generally lots of light and flow and when theyve been in low light for several weeks and close they will take several days to a few weeks to become normal again
