Are my zoanthids melting?

[jamiec266]

if u dipped them its just a layer of flesh ive had this happen before u probley dipped them to long. in a few days that stuff should get soft enough to blow off them with your baster.

Here's an update for everyone: they melted. I'm not sure why. I didn't find any pests or anything and my hammer coral is doing great. I have a funny feeling they weren't super healthy to begin with considering that the guy at the LFS was boarder line begging me to buy them and even gave them to me for $10 instead of $25.

That's a red flag, the store was probably having issues with them. Good luck on the the next try.

Next time this happens, back away slowly, then run...

@DSC reef has never gave me bad advice and has helped tons. His info has always been spot on. I agree that cfl can grow some coral .
