Zoas melting

[daniella3d]

That's really sad. Could be due to the contaminated carbon as when I got copper poisoning all my zoa and paly where turning wierd and many have melted away over a day or 2 after that event.

Also alkalinity swing are very detrimental to zoanthids but if there are so many of them affected, it could be copper.

Have you done copper test?

You could try dosing some vitamin C to see if that help.

blue eye blondes
purple hornets
radioactive dragon eyes
orange oxides
xmas
supermans
teal rings
green tea paly
orange explosions
some pink ones
dennys mix frag
watermelons
possibly my hammer and frogspawn as well.
