So on Tuesday I was wandering around the LFS and chatting with the owner he had some Zoa plugs that were healthy but had some hair algae growing on them. They were open and happy. Because of the algae he gave them to me for $1 a plug, i got them home and got them in my sandbed, the next morning my emerald crab had cleaned all the algae off of them, but they are all closed shut, not even showing signs of opening up....any suggestions? I know everyone will probably say just wait but that is never a fun few days waiting for them to open up. (assuming they do open up) ------------- Justin W. |

I would say they are just irritated from the crab cleaning the algae, and as you said just wait a few days:) ------------- Jackie Stuver "wait these aren't the happy Hawaiians oompa doompa godly heaven on your face zoas? I dont want them then. lol!" Ksmart |

Did you use any dips before you put them in? When I dip my zoas they are pissed for a couple days. ------------- The time we enjoy wasting isn't wasted time!!!! |
