    RIP Zoos. My goal of a well stocked ZOo and LPS tank are all but done. For the last month the Zoo colonies have been in decline. Colony death has been totally random and extremely rapid. A healthy looking zoo rock will have one or two closed up and by the end of the week the they will all be...

    What is this???

    This morning i noticed these small red spots in the lower corner of my 46G zoo and richordia tank. At first i thought that it was just some kind of alge or cayno, but upon closer observation a few of them were moving across the front of the glass. Any one have any idea what this is??? Thanks
