help with polyps

Fantastic list, Scott!

My polyps haven't opened in about 3 days. We had a brief heat wave and the temp in the tank went to 80. I decided to just watch them for a week or two- I suppose I'll know if they're dead, otherwise leave alone.

 

it might help to see a picture with the daylights on

 

wow. Omard, that should be made sticky in coral forum......

 

Needed to add Zoa Warning...







Palytoxin is an incredibly complex marine natural product containing 71 stereochemical elements. Palytoxin, isolated from soft coral (most notably, zoanthids), is considered to be one of the most toxic non-peptide substances known, second only to Maitotoxin.

Typical symptoms of palytoxin poisoning are angina-like chest pains, asthma-like breathing difficulties, tachycardia, unstable blood pressure, hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells), and an electrocardiogram showing an exaggerated T wave. The onset of symptoms is rapid, and death usually follows just minutes after.
