you can get smaller medium (3" or so). I was trying to get one a couple of months ago but all i could find was 5" upwards here and that was bigger than i wanted for how dense my tank is. they are about 3x the price of regular copperbands here, for medium, the large are 5x

Usually things like Kraks that melted on me, I had a nightmare with pink diamonds to start then ironically when the price started to come down they took off, i had a nice little colony of about 50, that was his first meal, then my collection of hornets.

Are yours just melting or do you think something is having them?

Have you checked for the usual culprit, nudis? are they a colony of frag, is there and white slimy stuff between the polyp or appear to be melting into each other?
you can look up zoapox, see if any of the results come back with anything identifiable.. I had it years ago but they came in with it from an import box I bought.

Dips might help
