They are slightly if even considered stretched but try adding 3% blue every other day twice and see if you see a difference as white intensity seems a little bright. Grandis looks like it may lacking flow and must be fed 3X a week.
Any idea on the grandis paly? It was open like a big disc and now it's making wierd shapes. I don't know if that's normal growth or something to be worried about. I'm new to all this.I've got zoas with long stems, medium stems and basically no seems flat on the rocks. There are different sub species.
I've had it 2 months, but i bought it used. The previous owner had it about 2 yearshow old is this tank?

Not unusual for grandis. When was the last time you fed them? Mine get wavy patterned at times especially when hungry as you can see in picToday the grandis paly has a different wierd shape. Crinkled like a potato chip
I've had the bigger zoas for 1 week. I've had the tiny zoas and the grandis palys for 2 weeksare they new to the tank? If they are
1. They need time to get use to your new lighting vs the previous lightning they are under.

are they new to the tank? If they are
1. They need time to get use to your new lighting vs the previous lightning they are under.
2. They will need a bit more blue light(440,450,470 nm) since they sit almost close to sandbed.
3. Zoa’s don’t really like super high flow but again this depends on the type of zoas and how they were in their previous tank if they are new to your tank.
4. Most importantly, any coral needs at least 2 weeks to get use to the conditions when introduced. So it is worth leaving them for at least a week or more before doing any changes again. As along as the water conditions are good, nothing will happen to it.
5. Zoas normally don’t like anything on them or rubbing them. If you have clowns or any other fish trying to stay on it( Like a citrus clown goby’s who loves sitting on corals), host it, kind of a situation, they will do this and sometimes we mistakenly take this as they are reaching for light.
The best way to confirm that it is 100% light, is to spend some time looking at them just before your lights come on and just before the lights go off in the evening. Ideally if it the light, Zoas will do this early in the morning just before opening for the first light and also just before closing for the last light in the evening.
Hope this helps.
I didn't know I was supposed to feed them. I thought that was optional.Not unusual for grandis. When was the last time you fed them? Mine get wavy patterned at times especially when hungry as you can see in pic
Ive had Grandis for 4+ years and they always perk up with feedings. While zoas and palys get their energy from their zooxanthellae generated by light, they have the ability to capture prey and most palys feed more readily. See this video as an example:I didn't know I was supposed to feed them. I thought that was optional.
I've got some reef frenzy defrosting right now. I'll turn off the wave makers and squirter watery bits over them
