I’ve got a frag of Purple Heart zoas that I’ve had for probably 8 months. During that time they’ve gone from being healthy, to shrinking and closing up, I then dipped them in seachem reef dip and they came back healthy. Then about a month later same thing, they started closing and shrinking up. Dipped them again in reef dip and they came back again. Then it happened again, and I repeated the process and they came back yet again. Well they’ve been fine for about a month and half and now suddenly again here they are closed up for days and shrinking.
I’ve got 10 other zoa types including LA Lakers, Bob Marleys, Eagle Eyes, King Midas, Illuminati, Hyper Jubilees, Bam Bams, Scrambled Eggs, Demons on fire and purple monsters all doing well. These Purple Heart are on a rock I’m trying to make into a garden with some marleys, Lakers, king Midas and eagle eyes which look great.
parameters
ph 8.1-8.3
Alk 8.2
Cal 430
Mag 1430
Phosphate .08
Nitrate 10
Lighting is two Red Sea Reefled 90s over a Reefer 350. The Purple Heart zoas get like 115 par.
I feed Red Sea AB+ daily and reef roids and Benereef twice a week
Obviously I’ll try the reef dip again because it works, but I can’t figure out why it keeps happening to these zoas and them only? Any advice for some other treatment I can try for whatever keeps hitting them?
