Zoa/polyp help... ?!?!?!

[Demonkegman]

So it happened.. My purple nudi died, and being poisonous I took it out pretty quick... and did a water change at the same time. like 30%... My water levels are normal and cool. BUT my a few zoas and Polyps closed up cuz of maybe the poison or whatever... and haven't opened back up in 4 days... They look fine, like they aren't dying... but wont open.. Anything I can do/feed to help them recover, besides never getting a coloring looking thing like that ever again?

 

[toromp]

Patience and w.c...not much else you can do

 

[Demonkegman]

yeah huh.... most of my Zoas are cool. but my Rasta i just got wont open.. NNOOOOOO!! lol

It's always the expensive stuff that is the most sensative...

 

[toromp]

They r pretty hardy bro, I once glued one closed and it forced itself open. Ohh btw thanks for the raffle tickets.. ended up winning a few things....

This! I just had to Revive dip and QT all of my zoas/palys due to this a few weeks ago. They're very small and hard to see. And they don't attack all zoas at the same time. At first they only attacked one of my frags. I dipped and removed that frag and within days they moved on to previously untouched frags. Definitely worth looking into...

Yeah I'm researching it now and will be looking into a way to QT and dip all my new frags...

Something like Lugol's Iodine dip, or Seachem Reef Dip to name a couple.

I would use carbon and water change to remove the poison, Zoa will slowly open again when it feel comfortable with water quality.

I did poison them once, they closed for more than 2 weeks and open again.
