+1 on the sum and a really nice pc of rock with all those zoa's on it. What kind of lights are you running. They need med lighting to do best. Might want to move it up to mid tank level to keep them happy.

Awesome didn't even kno what they were I'm so new to this just found out I have an asterina star what kind of Zoa is it and can you tell me what is directly to the left of the of the big bundle of zoas it keeps opening up a little the moving up and down real slow lol maybe a clam I don't kno. Any help

Too hard to tell on the zoa's till they open up, like a mystery surprise. The other thing, while hard to tell could be a tunicate or some sort of mollusk. Is it a shell opening and closing? If so, some sort of filter feeding mollusk. I have several on different pcs of rock. Google tunicates, I loved mine till an aggressive angel I once had ate them all!!

Wow that's awesome I'll look it up will the zoas get hurt in the cycle process or will they be fine.

 

[rilesjr44]

Oh and I believe it's a shell but hard to tell

Expect them not to make it, but they are pretty hardy little buggers...good luck! The mollusk, if that is what it is, should be ok.
