My zoos are melting/missing.

[Default]

On sunday I bought a frag of Fire n Ice Zoanthids from Blue Sierra. I noticed that the zoos seem to be melting or just go missing. Does anyone know what could be wrong? I have about 10 other zoanthid frags that are doing fine, could something be eating them? I only have one single zoa left of the frag. Any help would be great, Thanks.

did you check for zoo eating nudis?
i'd do a lugol's dip just to make sure dood.
another thing ...did you acclimate them?
where did you put them (bottom/ middle/high)? some zoos don't like to much light

I havent checked for nudis, i did aclimate them, and they are at the bottom of the tank, i will do that dip later on today, thanks for your help

Do nudis like a certain type of zoa because my fire and ice are the only ones affected.

np dood just make sure that when you're doing the dip you shake them up a little

they like any kind ...they start first with one colony and then to the next one until all your zoos in the tank are gone .
also check for snails ...there's also snails that eat zoos.
also try moving them by the shade if they're not already ..just so they keep adjusting to you light which i forgot to ask , what type of lighting are you running?
