Saving Zoos?

[Airborneguy]

Any way to save zoos once they start wilting? I bought a small plus from a guy on another site, and I think they have been too young when he fragged them because they never fully opened. Everything else in the tank is doing fanatastic (my recent aquisition of frogspawn is already growing), and parameters are excellent.

if it looks like its dying chances are its gonna die, but i wouldn take that into full consideration.

Vitamin C! Its done nothing but good things for me, and for others i've talked to. Works the best at bringing polyps back to life. Thats just me though, i'm sold on this stuff....what some people call snake oil.

I'm a fan of Furan 2 dips. They saved some zoas I had that were receding.

dang. i was really wrong. learned somethin new today

Well you were right in a way. Some you can't save no matter how many dips you do or what you dose. But there are ways to save them, or attempt to.

Anything specifically wrong with them? What do they look like? Any parasite looking fungus on them?

They have shriveled up to about half their size, and haven't opened in days. I've been moving them around the tank to see if that's it, and even adjusted the flow on one of my Koralia's, but haven't noticed a difference at all.

Are there any spots on them at all? Do you see any snails/nudibranch or other odd critters among the polyps?

Nothing... they jsut shriveled up and have stayed that way ever since I did my massive RO water change and started using RO water. Everything else is doing much better since then except this piece.
