why?

Was told to dip it just to clean it. I'll be changing a few gallons today and try to find stability within my tank. I've been meaning to change my aquascape anyways to make room for more lr.

Thanks for your help. I truly appreciate it.

oh and if you need to dip do revive or coral rx

Zoanthids tend to melt. They are sensitive to shift in water parameters, especially alkalinity.

Things that really help zoanthids (maybe not so other corals)

- Feeding with Chromaplex each day (now experimenting with Fauna Marin zoa food)

- Vitamine C dosing can help a lot

_ good light and good flow.

- Peroxyde dip if there is any sign of cyano, algae or black coat on them


The smaller zoanthus sociatus are harder to keep. They seem to require a lot more food in the water. Larger zoanthids, especially large paly, can eat larger food like cyclops and they grow and do much better in the aquarium.

The ocean is extremely rich in phytoplankton and zooplankton. Our tanks are usually too sterile for them to thrive. Some species will thrive but there is no garantee that any specific specie will do.
