Help! Just made a discovery

[bluesea26]

Hey everyone! I left for the weekend on a trip and had my tanked watched over but I came home to something terrible. One of my hammers is now missing a head, one of my zoas aren’t opening, and one of my other zoas look like it disappeared. Can someone give me any guesses as to what is going on?! My water chemistry is fine according to my local fish store.

Something is eating them would be my quess. Do you have anything that would be potentially a coral eater. Like a peppermint shrimp or angle fish?

causes will be:
- Too much water flow. You want heads swaying in the current- not bent over the skeleton
- Elevated Phosphates
- Low calcium. They need calcium for skeletal health (no less than 280 up to 450)

Temperature swing? Salinity swing?
