Without giving current parameters you're just asking us to guess. Lighting and schedule will help also.

I don’t have a direct answer for you, but I do have a suggestion for how you can get the best advise. You’ll need to post a bit more information.

Have you made any changes recently?
New salt, new light settings, dosing, etc.

What’s your current parameters?

How old is your tank?

Also, someone on here is going to ask for white light photos.

Zoas are generally hardy, but they have tons of potential pests. I’ve had spiders before and had to dip my corals a couple times a week for about two weeks to handle them.

could be a list of things that could cause this.

are these aquacultured?
system parameters are stable and where they should be?
do you dose trace elements? or aminos?
any change in light? (fixture, schedule, or intensity)

Agree with above comments, but I see algae in between polyps on this one. Zoas don't like anything around their base.

Color of the lights doesn't matter. What light is being used? What intensity? Is there a ramp up and down?
