    Default What the heck??

    What would cause a zoa to go from this to this in just under 48hrs. Nothing done, changed nor added.

    Could just be expelling waste too. Also I read something about closing up tight to regulate the salinity inside their bodies, they close up tight and then slowly expand again sucking water in... or maybe that was just anemones...hrm.

    They definitly look pinched- which is not a good sign...are those keds reds?? Kinda hard to tell.

    All the keds reds I have owned have eventually pinched and melted eventually- but somtimes, if I am lucky, a couple polyps will survive. Think they are a pretty touchy polyp.

    Without knowing anything besides the info given- I would look into any possible alk swings lately, even small ones like topping of more volume than usual ect. considering the polyp type
