Hi all,

I got this zoo, meant to be orange color, now it is brown and quite small. Mind you I have to use a macro lens to take this photo. I know that Zoo wants High light, low flow. In previous two months, my flow was actually quite strong. I have turn it down now. It is sitting at the bottom of my tank.

Parameters:
Nitrate very close to 0ppm
Phosphate 0
Salinity 1.026
C 440
Mg 1320
Ak 10
25 degrees

As you can see my zoo is brown in the middle with white dot, it is the pox they talk about? Is it worth while to dip it again in "revive"?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Hilary

Looks fine. How long have you had it? Some of my zoos grow rather slow, others grow fast, funny enough it's the Full brown ones that usually grow fast

hahaah thats what people say, brown and green grows real fast, exotic ones grow real slow, had it for 2 months, from 5 polyp to 7. To bring out the color more, should I move it to higher light area?

Just stop touching it and let it settle in, wait a few months and we will see how it turns out then,
