zoa decay

I got a big rock of cheap zoas from a local fish store recently that I'm keeping in my quarantine for now but a chunk of the rock broke off so I put it in one of my tanks to see if my Toby puffer would nip at it. For the most part he's leaving it alone, but they just really don't look like...

Good evening, So story goes I received this Zoa on Sept 15th, delayed in shipping a day. Looked pretty rough along with some other pricey zoas. Very stressed but gave aminos over the week it opened up a long with the others. Never looked quite right, few weeks ago it closed again. Looks to...

Got this Zoa a week ago and it’s been expelling it’s zooxanthellae since a day after. Today half of the heads released something from their mouths ( black tentacles). Do they look healthy ? or are they dying

My Zoa has been acting strange lately and I want to make sure it’s not being eaten or it’s not sick.. it looks like a few of the flowers have been eaten and this 1 zoa of the 5 that has been looking ticked for about a week now and I’m not sure where to start any ideas.. the last picture is...

My new zoa frag was doing well until I found an Asterina starfish attached. Starfish couldn’t have been attached for more than 12 hours. Removed carefully but frag still looks bad after 3 days. Any suggestions on helping it get healthy? I dose ReefEnergy AB+ every other day.

My frag tank is losing zoas fast. Who is the most likely culprit? I have inspected those suffering and those still healthy and see no nudis, eggs, spiders, or pox. My parameters are all good to great. Those that are afflicted go from okay and open to closed completely overnight, and after that...

Some of my zoas have been losing tissue between the individual heads. Any ideas what the issue could be? 78F 20ppm nitrates 0 nitrite 1.026 salinity

Ok so I've got several zoa frags with heads getting super, super small. they aren't melting or dying but the heads are maybe 1/2 to 1/3 the size they were months ago. I have recently had a cyan outbreak but they were shrinking in size before this. Any ideas what the problem could be? Biocube...

I just crushed a zoa in my DT, I know the answer to this but need to hear it from someone else. Will this nuke my tank? The innards went all over the tank but I’m running carbon and have a protein skimmer. It was a single head of rainbow incinerators. @footgal because duh

Hi All, Hoping you can help me with the current issues I'm having with my tank. The setup: Aquarium: Started 07/2019 75 gallon Aquarium Masters + 20 gallon Trigger Systems sump Reef Angel Controller 70 Lbs dry rock (old from a previous tank, but left in a tub for 2 years) Barebottom with...

So I’ve been periodically feeding my Zoa phyto plankton. They always look like crap after they eat. The close up on the food and then a day later look shriveled and faded. They’ll stay that way for a few days before bouncing back. Are they just pooping out their zoanthellea with the food waste...

Hey reefers. I’ve got his red/brown algea that grew on some old polyps that have since died (read got eaten by an emerald crab who is now banished). They stayed closed for a long time but they were white zombies and just went though a tank move so I don’t think it was this stuff causing that...

Hi everyone, So I bought this new zoa colony at an LFS where I have been once before and it's not doing too great. I bought the colony Saturday November 28th 2020 so I've had it for almost a week now. The issues: - Less and less polyps open up every day - White strings appearing at the base of...
