Have you observed the colony at night? Sometimes larger Amphipods develop a taste for certain Zoas, especially the skirts.

However, from the pic I'd hazard a guess that a bacterial infection is the more likely explanation. Some have had success dipping with Furan2. Another one you can try is Melafix. Good luck!
 
Can't get Furan here in the U.K.
maybe I will try melafix then do you just dip the coral as you would a fish then ?
 
Are you dosing vit c?

I have read many good things about it, to recover receding zoa's.

Here is my thread, with some really nice information and links to other threads. (if you want to read)
I have ordered sodium ascorbate from Iherb, but alot of people also use brightwells vitamin c.
You basically count the amount of vit c needed with a calculator ( someone posted the link to it on my thread). And dose this 2 times a day.

My vitamin c is comming soon, can't wait to see the results.
