The Zoa’s in one section of my tank have started turning black. The only thing that’s changed is I cleaned my ORP probe because the readings seemed high (440), and it immediately started reading low (300) after the cleaning. I do run ozone and and lowered my lighting intensity from 30% to 25% in case it was an increase in PAR that is causing this. Anyone have any suggestions on what else I can try to revive them?

Zoas in a different section of my tank completely unaffected. Tank measures 24x20x12

The strats? The images are at different angles.
What fixture are you using?
If not all Zoanthids are affected than it's likely lighting right?

🙂
 
The strats are the easiest to notice, but it's affected all the zoas in that area except the utter choas.
Fixture: ATI Straton X
I'm assuming it's lighting. I've also started to run carbon since Sunday as a precautionary measure.
