Several zoa frags from the same colony are not fully opening 2 weeks after I mounted them to plugs. Based on the vendor, I would assume the frag would have been wild collected in the gulf coast. They are slightly opening enough to see the head of the zoa, but the skirts are not extended. They are also continuing to extend into the water column, seemingly becoming longer and skinner.
They are under a hydra 16 in a 13.5 evo with macros, two gorgs extending polyps, and a happy candy cane frag. With this in mind i'm going to assume the ammonia and nitrites are zero. I'm assuming the nitrates are less than 20 as there is no livestock or feedings.
Before you ask, water parameters:
Salinity: 1.027
Temp: 79 F
Ammonia: Assuming Zero
Nitrite: Assuming Zero
Nitrate: Assuming <20ppm
Calc: ~420
Alk: 9.0-9.2
Mag: Can we pretend it's in range?
Any Ideas?
