Hey I just got home today to find one of my zoa frags with white/clear string stuff coming out of them. They where perfectly fine yesterday and oppen now they are half closed with this stuff coming out of them. Should I be concerned? Not that it really maters but these are pretty expensive zoas and I only got them a week ago. Are they dying?

Might be hard to see in blue light

Kind of looks like coral warfare
 
They are on an isolated rock, with another frag of different zoas. Nothing is near them
If your parameters are all good I would just leave them be they should be all good.

Should I remove the slime? Or do they do it when they are making a new head or maybe getting too much food?

It will retract no need to do anything, I had this issue when my tank was just starting out. Are you target feeding?

I just grabbed a pipet and sucked it up. All came off at once.

I do target feed 1ce a week with coral food but the zoas are in a spot where the food I feed my fish sometimes passes them by the way the flow is. They have closed up cause I took it out hopefully they open in a while.

Yeah man, I do see the mysis getting stuck in thair mouths sometimes but the cleaner shrimp always comes and eats it

Hopefully they open
