Zoanthids Behaving .... Differently

Crazy fishes · Mar 5, 2008

There is something else with the Zoa........ The picture shows a patch of the colony that never opens and has started to collect a collar of algae. What do you make of this. This GSP and the rest of the same colony is opening fully. I am at a loss.......

Many thanks

Is it always those specific polyps in the center of the colony that are closed, or does it change daily? Meaning sometimes is it the polyps on the left and sometims the polyps on the right?
