One of my bunches of zoos is closing up it has be doing really good since I got them but every day more of them seem to be closing up now they are almost all closed.
WHat is wrong with them?
The other zoo's seem to be doing fine and they are right beside them.
I check perameters and calcuim was a little low, but I dosed the tank so it should be back up no I will check again tonight.

Mine did the same for a bit..and still do. I find they will disapear for a week, only a few actually open and then all of a sudden they will be all puffed out like it's nobodies business. I think they might be sensitive to water changes, disturbances from tank mates.

All of the polyps are closed not and shrinking. Been blasting three times a da for 3 days now, no change.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks Cody

Could be chemical warfare between the two groups of zoos... maybe try moving them to another location.....

or perhaps some chemical filtration ? Carbon etc.?

All levels are still good. Put new carbon in friday. I moved the zoo to a new spot and I see if there is any change.

I had the same problem before.

They actually ended up closing and puffing up with water inside them. Never opened up and coraline/algae ended up covering it up.

They looked like they were dead so I threw them out. :(
