I need some help here.
I am puzzled by what's happening. I have already lost an entire colony of zoas. They went from growing and expanding to melting away within a week. Just poof, gone. Same thing has happened to another colony that was fairly large. Half of it just melted away. Now another one is starting to look like it might be headed in the same direction.
Everything else is doing well. Water parameters are all normal.
I've noticed some will kind of swell up and extend outward, as you can see below, before they start closing up and dying back. Too much light?
This is a colony that just melted away within a week or two... It covered the entire area seen here up to the ridge in the rock and to the edge of the rock all the way to the right where it neighbored that small frag
Here the orange one was full and extended all the way down a few inches past the plug you can see now (which was covered with dense colony). Not it's less than half the size but somewhat more open today...
Others are doing very well (too well, if you ask me. Taking over)
I know sometimes a colony just "fails" but it's happening suddenly and to more than one colony at the time. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm at a loss...
