Zoas not opening

[kirkleigh84]

What would cause your zoas to not open. Water parameters are all good.

need more info
Have you changed anything in the tank recently:
Temp
bulbs
light schedule
ETC

 

[thomasdo87]

thats a very open ended question. Do you see anything on them such bugs, white dots, or fungi? Did you move them, old/new bulbs? What has change from when they were opened until now? Anything picking on them?

 

[kirkleigh84]

Everything is the same
Temp 78 to 80
alk 9
ph 8.2
cal 450

How long have they been closed?

hey Vidalia, love your onions btw... silly question, have you checked your nitrates?

 

[livingcorals]

also have corals with sweepers near by?

 

[livingcorals]

in the wild zoas are found most near nitrates areas...really not sure if that would be the issue tho...

 

[subielover]

I always dip my zoas in revive if they stay closed for more than 3 days. Knock on wood, they have always opened back up.
