I have been VERY successful with them in my holding tank some of them is like a year and grow, stick on almost anything and anywhere including at the grid of the powerhead. Some loose colonies flipped upside down for a month and still looking great when I found out.

What region are yours? Mine are Japanese.

from what i hear... deepwater zoas are not from japan.... that is a myth. However, i havent had any problems with the deepwaters i have. They do very well and grow quickly.

A nice trick to reverse the melting situation is to use Vit C in the form of pH-stabilized ascorbate (ascorbic acid drops the pH quite a bit).

In Norwegian its called natriumsaskorbat, which I think is called sodium-ascorbate in English, but correct me if Im wrong. The american pharmacies are usually much bigger than here, so you can probably buy it at the nearest one.

A stroken (small) teaspoon for 100 gals is what I have been using. But start gently and increase over 2-3 weeks.

Edit: yeah, and its even better to dose less 2-3 times a day if you got the time. The vit c is just active for a few hours in the tank.

if you get the African ones like the fake blue hornet, good luck.
if you get the real blue/purple hornet from Indonesia, I was told they are easy. I never owned the real blue hornet-too poor. LOL


do you have a pic of yours so that other zoa pimps can chime in what yours need.
