Can Zoanthids "Walk"?

kospaintball · 01-21-2009, 02:22 PM

I had received this rock with like 4 daisy clove coral on and it had 1 zoanthid.... the zoanthid was above the daisies yesterday and i looked at my tank this morning and he is now below them.

Just curious if they can move some how

its not that it moved so fast... the zoa was already pretty much on top of the daisies and then when they closed back up for the night and opened back up this morning he oped back up on the other side
