lobo and zoanthids?

[taichimaster]

I have a lobo that I just placed on top of a rock that is fully encrusted with radio active dragon eye zoas. Just wondering if the two touching each other will do harm to either one. I am more concerned for the lobo...

with the lobo we have anything that is within a few inches of it gets zapped at night when it extends the feeding tentacles so I would think it would be able to fight off some zoanthids, but of course yours might be different. I do believe in general that lobos are considered to have a strong sting.

Dying Brain

I have a green lobo brain that has been doing really well for months now and all of a sudden it looks like it's dying. It seems to be receeding and loosing color. It's been on the bottom of the tank since I got it so nothing has changed in that respect. Anyone have suggestions on what I should try?

It is best to have both zoanthid sp. and LPS corals separated by a few inches as they both have the ability to sting and cause stress to their neighbors.

It seems to be receding and loosing color.

Most LPS corals cannot receive 100% of their nutritional requirements from light and require regular feedings or they slowly recede/starve due to lack of nutrition. Meaty sea foods fed a couple of times a week will maintain them. Fed 3-4 times a week and they can grow rapidly.

HTH,
Kevin
