new zoanthid placement

[jose227]

I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions abiut this zoa. It was right under the hydor 425 but it looked disturbed so I moved the power head to the other side of the tank. I added the frag yesterday. All my parameters are good.

Looks fine to me. Zoas are nice and extended.

 

[jose227]

Is it normal for them to close at night.

Yes they close at night and will open up when lights turned on

Looks like Radioactive Dragon eyes. They're pretty hardy. Just take notice if the polyps extend, that usually means there's not enough light. As for flow, I have zoas all over my tank and they all seem to thrive no matter where they are.

 

[jose227]

Its growing already it looks so awsome.

Nice!!!!!

 

[jose227]

I know right!!! I never imagined this hobby would be so rewarding. Every time I walk by I spend ay least 5 minutes looking at it.

 

[Aquarium advice master]

Yup the hoppy is very rewarding like seeing corals and plants grow and fish grow right before your eyes.

I really like the toadstool corals and the xenias. But I want to wait until I have more experience. What would you guys put in here next if it was you're aquarium. Its a 20 gallon

 

[Aquarium advice master]

I would put a mushroom or an easy type of anemone.

Toadstools seem pretty easy. I've beat mine up a few times moving it, or re scaping the tank. It always seems to bounce back and it looks nice blowing in the flow.

Very nice colors! I keep mine under one of the powerheads but it does well pretty much anywhere.

 

[Aquarium advice master]

Nice!!!!

I wouldn't go with an anemone if you're just getting involved with corals. Anemones are very tricky and if not taken care of properly, they can die and nuke a tank.

I would love an anemone and some clown fish. But I will wait on the anemone. My first one will probably be a bubble tip.

Bubble tips are very nice. Definitely one that I would get if I chose to get one. As to what other easy corals for ya, try a Green Hammer or a Frogspawn.

Probably diatoms if its a new tank. Its normal and will go away over time
