Zoas struggling

[reefernc02]

Hi all so I have three different zoa colonies who seem to be struggling unlike all 8 others wondered if anyone had any thoughts parameters are good and all other coral are thirving

Unfortunately "parameters are good" doesn't help troubleshoot much.

One thing with Zoas - some need/want more light, more flow while other need/want less. Just because they're all Zoas doesn't mean they require the same things.

Also, where they are in the tank in relation to other corals can play a factor - coral warfare and all.

Additionally, one (or multiple) colonies can have pests while the others are currently clear and clean, or a fish/invert could be munching on specific colonies currently and leaving the others alone.

Lots of things to look for/eliminate.

For specifics phosphate is 0.04 nitrate is 10 ppm alk 8.0 calcium 450 and magnesium 1500 the zoas are isolated away from other corals in a garden and they are at varying degrees of height and position due to me realizing they all don’t like the same thing just like any other corals
