Is My Zoa dying ?

[afamuz]

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

They look a little closed up but just fine. And thats poop coming out of the mouths.
I spy an aiptasia on the frag too.

Is this your only coral in the tank?

Post your salinity, temp, PH, alk, cal and mag parameters.

Actually look good. I would suggest elevating Just slightly as there may be sand getting on them as seen on plug which would irritate them.
Assure also not sediment builds on them ( I give a few GENTLE blasts from turkey baster bi-weekly) and moderate water flow

try to get a pic in white light, I see at least one, perhaps two aptaisia growing among the zoa's
