Damaged polyps during shipping

[kellyjn]

Please help a zoa noob out.

I recently received a few frags of some zoas. Most are open, there are a few that aren't and appear to be dissolving.

Do I remove the ones that are dissolving? Does this give the polyps that are open and appear to be doing fine a better chance? Or will they just die off and everything will be fine?

Thanks

A picture would really help. The zoas may be mad and still have not opened yet. If they are dissolving I would cut that part off because disease could spread to the healthy zoas.

Pic isn't possible right now......... Camera is broken, and have been spending all my money on corals. :)

Picture 8-12 open zoos, nice dark blueish polyp mat on these, than on same colony 4-5 polyps with their polyp mat fading and turning white.

Hope that helps
