Eagle Eye Button Polyp question.

[N1Husker]

I have had these guys for about two months now and they have been doing okay. The other night they closed up and have not opened up since. It's been two nights and two days and nothing. I think they are still alive because when the blue LED's come on you can see the orange through the translucent outer cone. Should I be concerned? I had put a pulsing xenia close to it but not touching, and it seemed like it didn't care for that, so I moved it, the xenia, to a different area in the tank today. Do you think they will come out okay?

Hello,
Zoanthids are quite hardy and for sure are still alive. It sounds like something is irritating them though. I recommend checking salinity and temperature then observing carefully especially a couple of hours after the lights are out for any creatures that may appear on them.

Regards,
Kevin
