what is this in my zoas
 
Hard to tell from resolution but, the Zoas could be melting. Looks like a dying polyp. Are the zoa staying closed? If so how long.

+1 They are dying . What's your tank perimeters? How new is the tank? Whats your lighting and flow?
 
how long have you had them? when you bought them did they look like this, if so was it from a online vendor you bought from or a local fish store? what are your tank parameters if all is good on that end... then you might want to think of iodine dipping them or a peroxide dip or non the less a dip known as CORAL RX which will help kill the bacteria infection which is being caused. please correct me if im wrong. this has happened to me many times when I had my old tank setup. if you can post some more info about your purchase and tank pars that would be great for us! hope this pulls through and looking forward to giving any advice I can help with !

welcome to R2R as well and happy reefing!

I bought form local store but I noticed this for the large zoa flower
 
ok so from the looks of it, there is a bacterial infection.. there is a small film covers the zoas which is preventing them from opening up, what you can do is dip them in the process of doing so get a Q-tip and you can try to clean them off to get in between the polyps and such. that's what I used to do. it will help along the process for them trying to open up, but allot of your zoas are melting (dying off) .
