Zoa shipped almost frozen!

[CarolineJ]

Welp! I bought my first zoa online, which in hindsight might not have been very smart. I live in MN and it must have been sitting in the UPS truck all day because it was an extremely cold 47 degrees when I got it. Is there any hope? TIA!

There is always hope. But 47 degrees doesn't leave much room for alot of hope.
Float it for a little longer, maybe a half hour and put it in.
See how it turns out.

Might as well put them in the tank and see how they look after a few days

I've heard stories of people receiving zoas very cold like that and they ended up surviving

Zoanthids are a pretty hardy coral, it definitely has a chance, especially if there wasn't much visible detritus in the water when it arrived (usually a sign of something bad.)
