Any ideas

[deagan14]

I have a zooanthid colony melting away it is about half of what it was 2 weeks ago. I am confident it is t any asterinas nor nudibrabches because all of my other zoa colonies are doing fine. Does anyone know what steps I should take, water change, dip them, move them to different flow and lighting etc..
The colony is on a rock In the sand bed, it receives little to moderate flow and same with light.
Salinity 1.025
Temp 78.2
Phosphate 0
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
pH 8.0
Mg 1380 ppm
Ca 465 ppm
Alkalintity 9.5

Do you have a picture? Could be zoa pox...

I just ordered Furan 2 after looking closer it is zoa pox, does anyone know how long I have because the Furan 2 won't get here until Tuesday.

Having a hard time seeing the pic on my cell phone, but if it is zoa pox you will know when things get dire. The polyps will wither away. These look fairly robust still. You should be okay. I've had zoa pox before and it got worse than where yours are at; Furan 2 did the trick. Just make sure to keep them in good flow after the dips.
