Have you observed the colony at night? Sometimes larger Amphipods develop a taste for certain Zoas, especially the skirts.

However, from the pic I'd hazard a guess that a bacterial infection is the more likely explanation. Some have had success dipping with Furan2. Another one you can try is Melafix. Good luck!

Are you dosing vit c?

I have read many good things about it, to recover receding zoa's.

Here is my thread, with some really nice information and links to other threads. (if you want to read)
I have ordered sodium ascorbate from Iherb, but alot of people also use brightwells vitamin c.
You basically count the amount of vit c needed with a calculator ( someone posted the link to it on my thread). And dose this 2 times a day.

My vitamin c is comming soon, can't wait to see the results.
