I bought zoanthus once 1.5 months ago and on the die was a bonus acropora red planet).
I did not have SPS before, I will tell you right away.
After a few days I had to do a blackout for 3 days against dinos (successfully)
After that, I did not see during the day, and then I thought that she just died (probably because of stress like a difference in light, in general conditions).
But last night I noticed that some part of the polyps or a couple of polyps connected by tissue are still alive, and the skeleton for a month has already managed to turn green because of microalgae.
I began to suspect that it is alive a couple of days ago, because when you look at it during the day - you can see that the red color is preserved in some places-holes in the skeleton, where there should have been polyps (which could indicate surviving polyps).
Thats a photo before and now at night.
Perhaps the loss of tissue was also affected by that rather large wound over there after it was broken off from the main individual.

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
