Hello friends :)
I have had a problem with ZOA for some time. Individual colonies began to die for no apparent reason. There was a brown coating on them, which I thought was a form of algae or fungi. It was impossible to see anything at the ZOA with the naked eye. So I decided to buy a microscope ...: D The film shows tiny worms coming out of the mouth of one of the ZOA. Does anyone have any idea what this might be?

I believe those are the zoas "guts" that it is puking out so to speak, likely due to stress from the brown algae getting on them. Best advice would be to keep them clean by gently blasting them with a turkey baster every day or so
