A lot of my zoas are dying and I’m not sure why whereas others are open and growing fine. Water parameters are stable but suddenly a lot of them have closed up and not reopened. Included a picture of one, thoughts on possibly being zoa pox?

I would dip them, it looks like something is eating them.

update those zoas melted... I think it was too late to save that frag but its funny because a lot of the other zoas were doing fine but slowly about one frag at a time some started showing the same signs. I ended up doing a regular dip of iodine and chemiclean to prevent bacterial infections and it seems to have curbed the bad stuff going on?
