    That's unfortunate. Maybe one day I can offer you some experience, but for now, it's the other way around!!

    [​IMG]Having never owned corals until now, I'm wondering what's going on with my zoa's. The unaffected polyps look fantastic, but there's a spot where about 3 polyps have stopped opening. It's been this way for the last 3 days. I spot fed it some DT's phytoplankton with a turkey baster, and all went well. I didn't touch it with the baster, but that's the last time I saw them open.

    Will they open back up? Does this sort of thing happen frequently? Is something wrong?

    I should mention that the mushrooms; added and purchased the same day look absolutely fantastic, I did a routine 20% water change, and all parameters were at expected levels.

    Thanks, all.
