What is this

[JBenton]

What is this, attached to some live rock I bought and I’m brand new to the saltwater world. TIA

I’m talking about the little petroleum bubble looking things!

 

[Naekuh]

looks like ticked off Zoa's.
So they are closed and unhappy.

 

[JBenton]

Yeah it does look like that now that I’ve looked a few closed up Zoa images. This is my first reef tank, lots of learning to do.

What’s the chances this would survive without lights and should I scrape these off the rock if their dead or going to die I have lights on order but won’t get them for a week or so.

Just leave them. Scraping them off isn't needed, and they might just survive

Agreed. They’re currently closed up but don’t look dead to me yet. We often run tanks for a black out period to help with algae control that’s typically 3 or four days. As long as they survive the new tank, I think you’d be fine and they might survive over all. Just be aware certain types can be quite invasive
