Is this zoa dying?

[derekg]

3 days ago all 7 polyps were fully open, now one of them looks like this. Is it dead? The other polyps seem healthy and it was fully open like 3 days ago.

hard to say... my peppermint zoa puffs and shrivels but it's been going for a year now! salinity 1.025-1.026 if that helps

We need a bit more info:

What kind of lighting do you use?
What is the depth of the tank?
How old is the tank?
What are your most recent test results?

I did noticed a hermit crawling over one pod and it took 2 days to recover

the tank is around 2 months old, corals been in for around a month

its a pico jar so the whole tank is only around 12 inches deep.. the zoas are probably in 6-7 inch deph

i've never kept zoa puffs or heard of them. Are those shriveled up? They look more opened than mine is right now at least

could this be why they're unhappy? I assume these r copepods but idk if they eat coral. But they keep making the healthy polyps close. There's also some black / grey ones that are bigger. Could they have eaten the entire other polyp?
