andy Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I found two of my trochus snails buried deep into one of my Zoo colonies. They were really dug in, and it made me nervous so I pulled the off carefully. It doesn't look like the did much damage, but I think a couple of polyps got hammered -- you can see some bare rock where you couldn't before. What do you think? Speaking of Zoos, my other colony is looking a bit ragged. A couple of polyps are dead/dying. When I first introduced it to my tank I think I put it in an overly bright spot. I've since moved it to a more shaded area and it is looking a bit better, but... Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20cooled Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Those snails won't eat your zoas, I wouldn't worry about them in there. As for the other ones, sometimes they just freak out and don't open for a day or two and then all of the sudden their fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 Thanks, so you don't think I have to worry about those dead polyps on the bottom colony? I'm worried those green/dead ones will rot and maybe hurt their neighbors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 On the top right of the pic, there are a couple closed ones with some yellow looking fungus on them. I'd cut those out and give the frag a FW dip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 Okay, thanks. FW dip, eh? FW should be at the same temp as tank water I suppose, how long should the dip last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Yah, same temp and try to get the pH the same. Dip for 5 min.
