polyps won't open

[julesjt]

I have a link to a video of my polyp that won't open.

My levels are all good and you will see everything is doing great except one group of polyps and it has been a few weeks since I seen them open. Sometimes I may see two or three a bit open but that is it.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

how long have you had them??


And try not to move them around so often, sometimes it takes them awhile to adjust and start opening

[twisted]

something may be irritating them...it could be you, if you are moving them around alot or there could be a sundial snail in them or or an nudi or something of that nature. or it could just be a thing they are doing. i have a few zoas that have closed up and stayed closed for a little over a week, then popped back out like nothing ever happened. ive heard that its possibly a seasonal thing. as long as they arent melting on you, they should be fine. have you tried spot feeding them with oysterfeast or something. they may just want some attention

I don't move them I started coz they closed
They are clean and do not show anything on them

I will try to spot feed them and your seasonal thing may be on

I would look very closely for zoo eating nudibranchs. Try looking at night but they're really hard to see- I found em by taking a super close up picture (with a macro lens and using a flash). They're tough to see because they take on the color of whatever they're eating. If you can get a good picture look for tiny round egg coils. In the end they finally were removed from my tank by repeated freshwater dips and an Arrow crab. Arrow crabs are risky though 'cause they might go after other inverts (shrimp, etc.).
