zoanthids need a lot of stability in alkalinity and salinity otherwise they will melt. So you should get your parameters stable and your zoanthids will not melt any longer. Even a very small shift in alkalinity can make a colony melt. I had this problem before I got my dosing pump but since I got my dosing pump my alkalinity stay stable as a rock and no more zoanthids have melted for the last 2 months.

No Daniella. My parameters are stable. As I mentioned... Asterina stars are taking over. Must have over a thousand and they are smothering / eating them.

If you read my post again, it might make sense.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
