I'm not totally sure. Let's call the [HASHTAG]#reefsquad[/HASHTAG] for more info!

What's on the cheato is not what is affecting your zoas. That's either a sponge or tunicate. Whatever is affecting your anemone is what's probably affecting your zoas.

Can you list your water parameters?

 

[melypr1985]

Lighting and water parameters are the best place to start when diagnosing issues like this. The guys that will come by to help will want real numbers and the brand of light with the lighting schedule and intensity if it applies.

 

[Diesel]

Correct, we need parameters.

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

Have you done a lights out check with flashlight or red light for pests? Can't tell if that's sand on the polyps in first pic or possible nudi eggs. (On mobile so limited view size)

parameters are fine checked them daily and they are fine. .8ph 0 on the others i always keep a eye on that. my lighting is a 4 bulb t5 2 blue 1 pink and 1 purple. turne on for 8 hours and pink and purple for 7.5

i did try black out and flash light to look for nubi but i cant see anything. Now the zoas are just peelling off the rock and end up floating around the tank getting stock on the PH on sucked on the filter. its a 10G nano with a hang on penguin 150. the majitians that i have as profile pic are my favorite have not open in like 2 months. but they have reproduce 2 more little zoas but have not open. i really need help dont know if i should go get me new ligthing but this situation has left me a sour taste and im even planning on doing bigger tank but FOWLR. if i cant help this big investment out ive already lost lot of money on these 2 rocks of zoas since i wanted a softie tank i got a rock size of my hand full of regular peach color zoas and 10 little frags of nice loking ones. my leather coral is in great lookin condition and groing a third one on the side. and my other softie too and my green palua neptha is doing ok not great but ok, and my GSP was growing fast and attaching to the rock but now it slowed down and it wont open like before.

Thats how it was looking before

 

[Alanc425]

Do you have any flow in the nano other than the HOB filter?

 

[Ricardo Berrios]

Yes i have a hydor small one

 

[Ricardo Berrios]

Is it wierd that i have a acan that was dying and now is really looking good and puffy but the zoas are not? what the heck is up with my tank

 

[Wicked5oh]

I've also been having issues with only a few zoa frags out of 10- 7 plus a small colony have melted.

calc alk and mg were low, and I had an issue with my heater temp spiked for 2-3 days and my salinity was 1.030 for a few days is the only thing I can figure out. Multiple other coral completely fine so far. Following along

 

[Ricardo Berrios]

i really tough it was my temp since my heater was old i did not trust it so i kept it off for a while so i went and got me a new eno therm cobalt 50w witch ive read is one of the best keeping in mind i have a nano so nothing happend my calcium was a bit high about 3 weeks ago i did my water changes and ive brought it back to normal cant find out whats up.
