This cluster of Bob Marleys is quite extended compared to the other zoas in the area. They have been in the tank for about 6 months, but aren't thriving like the others. I moved them slightly higher, thinking it could be a par issue, but that didn't change anything. Now I think it could be because there are a bunch of clear tunicates growing between the polyps. Can I pick the tunicates off with tweezers or something, or is this not really a non-issue that I shouldn't worry about.

If not the tunicates what other issues might cause this. I have a lot of spaghetti worms, which don't seem to bother anything, but no vermatids that I have seen. Thank you in advance

Sure you can remove the tunicstes but as you posted the tunicates are probably a non issue. Logically different strains of Zoanthids might react differently under the same tank conditions.

The Marleys are very pretty.
