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 be expelling it’s insides and has stayed that way. Like it’s a big poo stuck but not if that makes sense? Dipped in coral rx this last weekend along with the other that’s not great (same delayed shipping box) but has grown another head. Didn’t seem to make a difference.
All other coral/zoas in tank are fine, nothing has been added or changed. This was the last coral I’d put in the tank. Water parameters have not really fluctuated.
Salinity 1.026
Alk 8.4
PO4 .16
Nitrates 14.4
Cal 430
Mg 1320
PH 8-8.2
Any thoughts or advise would be greatly appreciated!

Two things :

1. Maybe too much par?
2. Could it have been stung by any other corals nearby or any coral warfare?

Thanks! I’ll try moving it down lower, that spot is about 90 par now and that’s moved from about 115 par. I’ve placed rubble rock around to keep anything from laying on it but there is a goni and acan frag on the rack I’ll move right now! Thanks again for your time.

They are powerhouses they are pretty hardy haven't had any issues with mine FYI
I keep mine near the bottom of my tank with low flow with only other zoas near it
