Zoa failure

[adam.1]

I have these pink Zoas that just seem to be dying off. All the others around it seem to be thriving. Any ideas? I don’t see any pests. The blow pops above havnt done much while the bam bams and rainbow incinerators are thriving.

Not all zoa's are the same, some like more like and flow than others. I would try to place it in a different spot to see how it reacts to different flow/light perspective.

I have the same issue. I have a 28g Low Boy. Pink Diamonds, Seductions, Kung Fu Fighters ... anything that resembles those all struggle (or just die off completely). All my others do great. I've never figured out a pattern. Doesn't matter where I put them in the tank. They all do poorly.

Welcome to the heartbreak of keeping zoanthids.

I agree, I would try and move them to a different spot and see how they do!

I find zoas to be one of the weirdest of corals to keep. Some varieties thrive others don't do well at all.

In fact, today I am going to do a TM iodine dip on my Sunny-Ds as they (for whatever reason) are on a downhill slide.

My zoes luv high nutrients like N03 of 10 or so and P04 of around .1 or so.
Looks like there may be some algae on the frag. If so you should dip it in a peroxide solution of 80% tank water and 20% peroxide for several min. to kill it.
I have this pink diamonds and they do great battling with the others. lol
