    I was feeding Joe's Juice to some aiptasia in my tank and I accidentally dropped some onto a zoa in my tank which promptly closed up on it. Is my zoa going to be ok???

    Update, if anybody is curious.....the zoa survived! It stayed closed up for a couple days and when it opened back up it looked really ragged. However, it eventually regained its healthy appearance and is doing great.

    Thanx to all who responded.

    Ya I got some on my zoa's too, they got pissed and closed up, but have made a full recovery. Think it depends on how much gets on them.
