    Thanks Im excited too. So its been 2 days now and none have opened I thought the biggest head was opening a little bit cause I could see more dark in the center then the next morning it was closed tight again. Do they normally close up at night and reopen in the morning?? Or is it maybe the stupid starfish cause they are still in the tank!

    Zoa's do close up at night. But I'm a little concerned that they haven't opened yet. It should be pretty easy for you to spot any stars on them. Try moving them up a little.

    Ok I moved them up about mid tank there are a few heads that seem to maybe be opening a little the centers are darker but they are still pretty much closed up tight. I'll update again when i get home tonight. and I havent seen any stars around them they seem to stay on my rocks and as they come out im throwing them out! so I dont think its the start fish I just didn't know if they would go munchin on my zoas and then hide.... I really hope they survive its my very fist coral and i have waited well after others said it was safe I hate to think I'm killin them....

    No your not killing them I've been reefing for 4yrs and have had very little success with keeping Zoa's alive. Aside from 1 type all others have perished
    Having said this there are many who are very successful keeping them. I personally don't know how they do it-lol.
    Give them time and remember, it's not always the keeper's fault sometimes Zoa's just melt

    Well I didnt post last night because I think you are right and I SO didnt want you to be. But yeah they do look to be dieing and it is odd cause they honestly look to be melting. I have read where people talk about this happening but I thought it to be weird way to describing a coral dieing, but that really is what it looks like. Some of the heads seem to be almost shedding, some are almost transparent, and they just dont look as full and the color is brown not that blueish gray when they first arrived. I got some pics here.

    I wouldn't call it BAD luck just yet for you! Me on the other hand I would after 4yrs of trying lol.
    LPS have always thrived for me Much more so then Zoa's anyways lol. Some of my favorites are, Duncans, Hammer, Candy Canes, Favia's and Blastos. I'm also having good luck with my 1 and only Acan.
