Just had my tank moved into my new place, wife turned nuttier than squirrel turds, and for the most part everything survived. I have some brown sps which isn't hard for me to believe. What surprises me is I lost almost all of my zoas. I have some utter chaos and some green striped weed zoas, paly grands that made it but the rest poof.
My phosphate spiked a bit but not that much.
I got a shipment in last week they had been holding until I moved and I put all new frags in the tsnk. Acans, shrooms, chalice, lepto, favia and 3 zoa frags. I cut radion lighting by 50% and let everything chill. Next day all is great but zoas are gone. Not closed and shriveled but gone. There was a little remnant on one plug but that disappeared soon after.

Salinity 1.024
All 9.4
Temp 78
Mag 1500 (turned if the Doser)
Calcium 400
Phosphate .10
Nitrate/amon 0

There is nothing eating them that I saw. I had some of these small colonies / big frags for a year and they all vanished within 3 to 5 days if the move. I figured the move got em but brand new ones vanished
 
Usually takes longer than a day for zoas to melt. You sure you don't have something in the tank eating them?

I have not added any new fish and have not seen anything messing with any of the zoas, but anything is possible. Why would they leave the utter chaos?
