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.

actually its me were talking about here not him, lol but my tank is stable now again, and I haven't lost anything, it just appears that maybe a xenia might be the only casualty, but its still tough to tell, my ricordea is growing nicely and one ore 2 zoos have begun to split, so other then my hiccup I'm pleased with my progress thus far. P.s. guys NO HIJACKING!
