yellow polyps

[Bugsy]

Polyps are not doing well. Some are open and some seem to be just diappearing. I have looked for things eating them in the tank since its only 3 gal its easy to do. the only thing I see with lights on or off is lots and lots of copepods...

Everything else in the tank is doing well except these. My other zoas and paly's are all fine nothing bothering them. I read these are very easy to have in a tank but not so in my case.

Any advice as to what I can do before I loose them all..

Moved the rock to higher flow, polyps much happier now so flow does make a difference with these guys I guess.

Oh they are not that hard to kill I have had them die back on me. They are a good indicator that your water is good. If they are very healthy they do well, but if they are dying back then they don't like where they are or your water chemistry is out of whack.
They do like lots of light.

This is what they looked like when I brought them home and now they are so very tiny and do not fill the rock like this at all. I moved them thought they would like it better but nope just not happy there at all.
