Hello all, about 2 months ago I fragged my first Zoas. Everything went well. The Zoas I fragged have grown significantly over that time. Now they look all melted and dead. I have a before and after picture attached. Water chemistry is on par so I’m not going to post that. What can cause this? I dipped them in case it was some kind of parasite. I have not moved them and have not done anything else besides the dip. They don’t seem to be coming back though. It’s only the one species that it is happening too.

I've had some do the same thing. It's incredibly frustrating. Dozens of zoa species doing great, and one will just shrink up and melt out of the blue while the others just keep chugging along just fine :/
