I listed the suspects in my signature however I am not sure they are being eaten or just wasting away. oh and I forgot to add I have a scarlet crab.
 
If it was your tang, it would probally eat the whole colony in a few days if not overnight.
If you have had the zoanthids for quite a while and just added some, I suspect it could be one of several zoanthid preditors.
I don't think it would be a scarlet crab, but if you have seen any flat type crab shells in your tank, you may have a preditor type crab.
 
Look for zoo eating nudibrach. If you see some polyps closed, then maybe missing they could be the cause. In the last four month I have found over a dozen.
