Melting Zoa?

[Alex's Nano Reef]

Today my Zoas looked like this. i cut the peg off the Frag plug and they sort of shot into the bowl of water with a little impact. could that have caused this. my candy cane and the rest of the zoa polyps look to be doing very well.

The rim of that single polyp seems to be hurt or missing. Has anyone seen this and know what its usually caused by. and before anyone ask my parameters are ideal except calcium its on the low side of 375ppm.

On top of all this as soon as the lights went off that single polyp closed the rest stayed open.

I notice you didn’t get any response here. And I’m only responding to say for you to say all parameters are ideal but not to list them I’m sure turned many away from posting…….How do we know that you even know what ideal even means ?!?!?

Individual zoa polyps can be damaged/bruised. It may take a week or two to see improvements. I've dropped a frag, or a snail knocks it off before, super normal.

Appreciate it never used to be a big zoa guy but i heard some story's of them not working out in new tanks and was a little worried.

Don’t worry about it too much, just keep an eye on it here’s a few of my zoas today that look floppy
