That’s weird , never seen it.

I wonder if @joshporksandwic would chime in.

Only time that zoas loose color is mag too high or alk too high or low. Make sure your test kits are not over 1 year old.

The other problem is my other zoas are un phased and doing fine these are the only ones doing this.

I believe zoas have a timer and they melt for no reason leaving 1 or 2 to grow again lol. Sorry maybe in the future when everything is monitored in our tanks we will know why after months or years of corals doing ok from one day to another they melt

This just happened with our red hornets. Blue hornets are taking there place but just a few reds survived.

I suspected the same thing in my tank Josh, I used to dose amino every other day and recently changed to every day and this is what I have now
