My 25+ colony is completely gone! Melted away in a matter of 3 weeks. I am officially done with these and will not try them again unless I get some for free. HAHA!

You take the good with the bad in this hobby..
 
It happens..

I started to see them go down hill and did all I could to save them. 3 weeks has given me long enough time to prepare for the loss. LOL...

I just hate that you cut up that awesome colony and now a lot of them are gone. :(

May I ask if you changed anything from the time you had them growing great and the time after they were fragged and died?

Lighting, fish, inverts, coral, skimming, water, salt, temp, any equipment?

The only major thing that was changed during the growout period was the upgrade from PC to MH. This happened about 4-5 months before I fragged em, and thats when they boomed and took off. Other than that, I was running a pretty basic setup with no real changes.

Try to separate the good from that one, like separate tanks. I just wanna see if that one dies and the others do well or what. Maybe some type of pathogen.

Mine came from being covered by some mushrooms for a whole day...
But i have a fwe in one tank and some in the other tank. And they look awesome under T5s way better than PCs and MHs. Idk about growth yet since theyve only been in that tank for about a week

I should also say that I made a frag for a friend but didnt even have to cut the zoas. They isolated themselves so I just broke the rock. His melted about the same time and they had been open and growing.
 
I have had more problems keeping zoos than i ever have sps. They do good for a while, grow out and look good and then they waste away. I only have a few morphs left out of many, id say the ones i have left are hardy tho =-)

Its funny how different corals respond to other peoples conditions. Despite how similar they can be on paper, they can do better or just up and die.
 
The morphs that I have kept and then die for no apparent reason, I try again. After a couple of times I quit trying on they go on my list!

I'm also done with them. I tried numerous frags and they all melted away. The longest I had a frag survive was like 3 months.

Had mine for two years, and if it weren't for that !@#$% power outage I'd still have them.

RIP Armageddons
