Got this Zoa a week ago and it’s been expelling it’s zooxanthellae since a day after. Today half of the heads released something from their mouths ( black tentacles). Do they look healthy ? or are they dying

They look a little closed up but just fine. And thats poop coming out of the mouths.
I spy an aiptasia on the frag too.

Actually look good. I would suggest elevating Just slightly as there may be sand getting on them as seen on plug which would irritate them.
Assure also not sediment builds on them ( I give a few GENTLE blasts from turkey baster bi-weekly) and moderate water flow
 
try to get a pic in white light, I see at least one, perhaps two aptaisia growing among the zoa's
 
Is this your only coral in the tank?

Post your salinity, temp, PH, alk, cal and mag parameters.
just added ultra star polyp today. other than those two just two clowns and a false royal gramma.

salinity 1.021 temp 25/6 degrees pH 8.0-8.2 alk 9 no idea on cal and mg
