Zoanthids Not Opening

AlexWBryant · May 6, 2019

::Relocating post to better discussion::

I got 7 new zoanthids last weekend and things were ok for the first day, the next day my Wolverine closed up and never opened back up, a couple days later my Rasta closed up and only opens up about 1/16 of the way. I noticed last night that there were a few small dots. I’m guessing they are Zoa Pox.

If so, I’ll pick up som Furan-2 today. The other 6 zoanthids I have seem to be fine. Should I dip them anyway just to be sure? Need some guidance from you guys.

Following. I had a zoa frag I suspected zoa pox on it and did a Furan treatment. I can't remember the details but the frag made it, just not sure the treatment made the difference

I see lots of flatworms on the frag plug, they could be irritating the zoas

Yes, also a fire I must put out. I have been siphoning for a bit. Looking to try a wrasse before I FWE. When these had not flatworms on them they were still displaying this behavior, so although it may contribute to irritation, I do believe there is another problem.
