OK thanks for the reply, I've had them for a few years now and this is the first time, maybe the kenya tree stung them, I'm trying to give it away but no luck, maybe I should try selling it.

grandis palythoa can be hard to give away for sure but some varients are very nice

i have the true cinnamon El Grandis paly and i wouldnt sell a polyp to my grandmother as her last dying wish(harsh i know) lol

im sure will come around soon, if they stay closed for more than a few days then there is an issue, either water quality( not seeing it though) or possibly some other issue(fish,pests etc.)

Default Palys

Palys/zoas are very strange, sometimes they will just melt away for no reason.

Keep the zoa's detritus free they can collect a ton.

I swear by reef fuel by aquavitro - the stuff is amazing and works - just use 1/2 the recommended dose - and insure aeration

My sps,zoa and lps all increased growth and colours
