Just got these zoas in, a Great owl and Stratosphere frag. I temp acclimated, dipped, and placed in tank. Great owl opened up nicely but strat is showing clear skin. This has been a bad sign in my experience keeping zoas. Any tips or help?!

What I notice when this happens is the skin loses color and become susceptible to melting. I usually catch amphipods on them and I think they eat it until there is nothing left. Has this been anyone elses experience?

I also believe the root cause to be related to parameter swings and/or stress of dipping. I am hoping this one acclimates and comes back bc it was such a nice looking frag!
