Without me telling you my parameters and water chemistry are, what to these pics of my Zoa's tell you?

Some points:
There are no nudibranch's eating the zoa's
All other corals are doing great minus a few acan's that stretch for light.

I think I have a few issues effecting all my zoa's and note that only a few could come out for treatment. Thank you for any input. I'm about to give up for good with these guys because I can't keep them alive for anything. :confused:

In the process of trying to kill that one aptasia too

It looks like you're lighting needs to be a little stronger. Some of those Zoas are REALLY stretching towards the light.

Thanks everyone and I'm hoping you're correct. I ordered 2 more T5 lights (for additional) a few days ago. I've research endlessly on here and I'm at the point where I think it's lighting and possibly,fungus. I was curious if parameters would cause this. Some melting down, some reaching super high, and on the same frag. All are super skinny. I'll slowly acclimate the additional t5's and hope that's it. My water chemistry is on par with what is considered excellent/good but a tad high in Alk (I've heard this could be possible but even when my Alk is good, problem still persist. Hoping it's just light
