CoralCrazy Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 So I just looked in my smaller tank and my toadstool leather has turned to mush. I had one fish in there that I moved into another tank because hes not doing to great right now. Was wondering if I need to worry about the zoas that are in there. Most have closed themselves but some are opening. I plan on cleaning the tank today but want to make sure nothing will happen to the zoas til then. Any input is greatly welcome.

Lowman Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Do a huge water change and put some carbon in there. If you can move your zoanthids I would do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Yah I agree with Bob. Yank it out of there and do a large WC. Carbon should soak up any chemical warfare that might have been going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfisher Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 +2. Anytime you have melting,fighting,death or decay you should benifit by doing a water change. Running carbon will clean the excess chemicals and trace elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Agreed get those poor little defenseless zoas out of there!(scary) Did you check your parameters? How's your salinity? water temp? etc? Inquiring minds want to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoralCrazy Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Everything is moved and the fish seems to be doing better. Thank god we are addicted to this hobby. Always helps to have more than one tank. As soon as I know everything is ok with the zoas I will be offering some up for share the love and sale. You never really know how many you have until you have to empty a tank.LOL I can definately say I'm a junky when it comes to zoas. Thank you all for your advise. I believe I got to the tank quick enough to not lose all the zoas I have so carefully spent time collecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 If you have some Lugols laying around, you could do a 10 minute dip on the zoas just as a safeguard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoralCrazy Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 My brittle star was the reason I lost the toadstool. Tank has been perfect since I set it up. He is quite big and like a bull in a china shop. His spines seems to have shredded that poor toadstool.(sad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoralCrazy Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 The hubby is a little obsessive when it comes to fish. I'm definately hooked on the corals. We make a very scary pair. Everybody always says for us to just turn the house into a fish store. It's kinda cool to walk into any room and see a tank though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoralCrazy Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Just to let everyone know. The fish is doing great. The tank has been cleaned and stabilized. And all the corals seem to have come through it with no problems. Thank you all that helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
