I don't know what I am talking about here, just asking,,,, could not enough water changes have anything to do with this?

Did you just get the frag? How much light are they getting? You need to cut out the dying zoa so it won't infect the rest of the colony. Good luck

I had a huge colony of zoas in the middle of other colonies. I noticed one polyp closing and then another and so on. I dipped them, inspected them etc and the entire colony wasted away. Not one zoa surrounded by them died just that colony.

How long had the frag been cut when you got it? How long had you had it? Was it shipped? Zoas just seem to die sometimes, even with constant and good water quality, but after stress, they seem to have a harder time.
