14g Biocube, new tank, Zoa's on live rock?

[levi1803]

I think there are some zoa's hitchhiking on the new live rock that I just got for my tank on April 27th/08. Some of them are open, I was just wondering if it takes them a while to all start to open or if they are probably going to die off, this is a brand new setup so the cycle hasn't even started yet, will they be ok, there is tons of them on there, I counted well over 100. Sorry my pictures aren't the best.

They look like zoas in that picture but not sure. Zoas are hardy and they should be fine if you are able to control the nitrate levels through water changes when the tank is being cycled. Give it some time and if you lucky you might find some other things hitchhiked as well. Good luck.
