SRC Member Danieltwx Posted March 10, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted March 10, 2018 Had one polyp of zoas on a frag plug. The glue came off and I reglued it to the plug. I noticed the zoas opened for a day, then it remained closed for a week. The polyp shrinked, is it dead?

SaltySynapse Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 As long as it doesn't go all slimy then it should eventually open back up. Sounds like it didn't like the glue or it doesn't like the location/water flow in the tank. Some times they can be closed up for a few weeks as the acclimate to a new tank.

SRC Member soggycookies Posted March 10, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted March 10, 2018 Also just to add: if you have small zoas/colonies that remain closed for longer periods and fish that like to pick at the rocks, they can often mistake the closed polyps for sponges and potentially chomp them off before they can open up again, or in the very least discourage them from opening up for even longer Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magikarp Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 did your glue touch the mouth of the zoas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
