Why did my zoas close up??

[fishfreak1242]

So I got home from school today to find that my organism zoas were all closed up and I have no idea why. All of the my other zoas are doing pretty good and these are the only ones that are doing this. I just checked my salinity and it is at 1.025. I am about to check my parameters. All of my fish and shrimp are fine. I also just changed my bulbs to a different spectrum about a week ago. I went from 10ks to 20ks. Could this have caused them to close up? Its a 75 gal RR with 2x175w metal halides.

Wait, so you are saying that my zoas are gonners? Is there anything I can do??

there not nessecary goners, give them a couple of days to see what happens. also check your parameters and maybe do a water change. i have a ton of zoas, and sometimes they close but not for a long period of time. sometimes the shrimp of fish bother them.

could be sveral thing's look for nudi's, a hermit or snail went across them, a infection, zoa's are funny in that way

i've had my tubs blues close for 5 days or so recently. then they opened up fine. i've read that sometimes they do that.. not out of the ordinary.
