So I don’t think it’s the light both corals are high up in the tank running 43% intensity with ai hydra 32s corals were doing fine before but now look like there melting or getting skinny but at the same time look like there stretching for more light. Does anyone see any pox or parasites or anything like that. Looks to me like some of the stalks have little white dots. Not to familiar with zoanthid problems. Any help or input would be appreciated. Thanks r2r

I think it’s Zoa pox your referring to. Anyone else think it may be zoa pox. The coral is almost to the top of the water and not to far from the light, that’s why I wasn’t thinking light issue.

The long skinny stems tell me they are reaching for light. Despite that you think its getting enough light, the coral is talking to you

I’m going to test the water today and will try to move them a bit higher as well. No one worried about zoa pox tho?

Are you able to see small pimples on the zoa?
Every picture I've ever seen of zoa pox, the zoa is closed.
Your pictures don't show these 2 symptoms.
