marinakid Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 a very noob question. does zoa move by itself to find a comfortable spot? i guess they dont right since they are usually attach to a rock or something when we buy. but today i realise mine had shift to the other side of the rock. wonder what could have shifted them?

SRC Member teebs Posted February 4, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted February 4, 2010 Nope. Zoas can't move by themselves. What do you have in your tank?

marinakid Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Nope. Zoas can't move by themselves. What do you have in your tank? 1 shrimp, 2 hermit crab, 2 snail and 1 cucumber. any chance any of them could move the zoa? somehow the zoa was move to a pretty stable position. i was rather impressed by the move.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted February 4, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted February 4, 2010 move as in...? the entire frag moved from A to B? or the zoa polyps themselves moved. if the frag is attached to a rock, its pretty obvious they can't move because of the rock.... prbably your snails or crabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are snail that amazing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCH Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Snails will bulldoze your corals down. Crabs ESP hermits dIslodge your corals. So prob are your crabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
