Coral zoa healthy?

Does this look healthy?

Bought it on a whim a week ago and really know nothing about corals other then what I have read

 

This is my first coral. All water params are good. They are almost always open. What do I feed lfs said marine snow

 

It looks very healthy to me jdameli1

Thanks for the link it's very helpful!

They have been in about a week

How long does it take to grow? They have only been in a week and I swear it looks like there are more of them.

I have them pretty close to my lights maybe 8 inches away should I move them down further? Have 4 t5 2 blue 2 white 10k 39 watt I think

 

They look happy enough where they are to be honest, so Im not sure I would move them
under 4 x T5 lights IME they would be fine anywhere in the tank you placed them

they do well under moderate lighting, but I have also seen them prospering in upper levels of a tank lit with MH lamps - these are very light tolerant corals IME

I agree with Steve!!!

I would also add that I have heard some people say that you can practically raise yellow polyps in a toilet tank!!!

They are usually VERY hardy corals, and because they are a soft coral, tend to grow rather fast!

Good luck!!

 

That makes me feel a lot better!!! I'm just so paranoid about killing things off

 

Well I'm pretty sure I jinxed myself!

Today a few polyps shrunk 1 broke off and 1 turned completely white ... Coral bleaching??

Any suggestions?

Water params are all fine

 

Yellow Polyps like Steve said. Very good beginner corals. They look very happy.

BTW, did the LFS sell you the marine snow too? You don't have to feed them anything unless you want to. If they do not make it for some reason, it is not b/c of feeding. However, feeding might provide a band-aid to a situation.

IMO, I don't like that marine snow stuff at all.
