a very noob question. does zoa move by itself to find a comfortable spot? i guess they dont right since they are usually attach to a rock or something when we buy. but today i realise mine had shift to the other side of the rock. wonder what could have shifted them?

1 shrimp, 2 hermit crab, 2 snail and 1 cucumber. any chance any of them could move the zoa? somehow the zoa was move to a pretty stable position. i was rather impressed by the move.

move as in...? the entire frag moved from A to B? or the zoa polyps themselves moved. if the frag is attached to a rock, its pretty obvious they can't move because of the rock.... prbably your snails or crabs

the whole block move. and it wasnt easy to move as in. from A to B, the rock it rest on is like a V shape. so there is a small gap it had to overcome. and amazing it did. i mean if it wasnt move properly then it will likely end up on the sand due to the stablility of the rock.

Are snail that amazing?

Snails and crabs are very amazing and they can shift your corals... :whistle
