...only some of my zoas have opened up all the way..others only have little bits of the skirts out and others have no extension yet what so ever. I'll give them time (I've read some threads where it takes some zoas two, three weeks even) but of course the ones that aren't opened yet are the ones that I'm most excited about...grrrr

I've got them scattered throughout the tank, but I'm thinking of moving them all into a zoa garden sort of. There's one area where my zoas that have brown skirts and deep green plates opened up right away...and have stayed open. I might move all the frags in that area and let em go nuts...


any suggestions?

I have one zoa frag that hasent opened yet too. I still have my fingers crossed that they will. One of the sps frags was bleached out this morning. Too bad it was a nice looking big piece.

Still, nice frags and great price!

most of my zoo's are doing the same thing, anything thats open has not opened fully, the skirts are still in. And a couple have some polyps falling apart but it looks like at least some of each color will pull through

I'll give it a while...20+ hours in a bag isn't the most ideal environment, so we'll give it time.

I had bad luck with this order. The two zoa's I got were not the ones I ordered, but they did open. What ever #95 is hasn't opened yet (only 2 polyps on the frag, there should have been at least 3-4) and #96 half the frag was doa

all 3 of my sps were the ones I wanted which made me happy. Only 1 of 2 of my zoa's are the ones I wanted which kinda sucks but they weren't my main concern, im just happy bout the sps. It sucks though that you zoa guys didn't get the ones you wanted....should really bring this up with bruc.

Hmm, that's not good. I got the ones that I ordered. I wonder if Burc subbed where some of the stuff was sold out?

I would contact him for sure. The 2 zoos that I got are about half way open. I find they are very resiliant creatures, sometimes some of mine will close up for a while if bothered and stay that way for a couple days.

The SPS I got seems to be good, on two of the pieces there seems to be full polyp extension, the others not as much but still no STN/RTN.

If there is anything I can help you guys with just let me know.


For Tony, I promised pictures of the clam so I thought I would post them. My photo skills are bad at best so this is not 100% true to colour.

I ordered 95 as well, it didn't look like much of anything. It hasn't opened up yet either. At this point i'm assuming it's dead. But aside from that all my other frags are looking great.

Hello

Please PM me about DOAs, so we can organize another shipment for replacements.

Thank You
Burc
