LOL I'm hardly a master but thank you.but you should give your new zoas there own space until they acclimate properly,preferably at the bottom of your tank.

Unfortunately zoanthids are like that. Once they settle somewhere and are disturbed, there is a risk that they will get shocked and shrivel and melt away.

You just look at some specie of zoanthids and they melt. Dosing vitamine C help sometime so it might be a good idea to dose a bit of vitamine C (sodium ascorbate available at iherbs.com) in the tank before planning a move or a frag.

Ohh I never knew that. Hmmm. Well, I will get some Vit C. Regular human pills not the same?

No...not the same although that's not to say people haven't tried.

I have several of the vice Zoas & I find them to be very fickle when it comes to other zoa & paly's, give them space & I dip in some RX or revive. I tried the Vit C dosing in my nano & it was not very succesful but recently I have decovered that a little dose of iodine daily is very helpful as well as weekly feeding.

Zoas are all different. Some more aggressive than others. If you mix colonies it's always possible one will outcompete for space.

Palys are the devil when it comes to that !
