Why are my zoas like this?

[juanmanuelsanchez]

Recently this zoas have deformed. Is this normal? All my Params are in check. So I don't know what's going on. The other zoas are doing fine.

Thanks in advance.

My guess is the aptasias nearby are stinging them

But there is one with no aitapsia near and looks weird, the lower one...

They can really do some stretching and stinging tho and i dont think the distance is too far. This wont eliminate the aptasia altogether but u could plaster epoxy or superglue over the ones nearest the zoas which should at least eliminate any chance of their being stung long enough to judge whether this is the cause or not.
I kno not a for sure answer or solution but is where id start

I'm battling with it. Hopefully I will get rid of it soon

I have an LFS that hand feeds his peppermint shrimps aptasia, I bought one, no more aptasia. That said, one the aptasia is gone, he started picking on my duncan, so I moved him to a different tank.. you could buy one and once the cleanup is done, return him for store credit..

Looks like a Vermetid snail above the top one too

AiptasiaX worked great for me
