HELP zoanthids swollen and closed

[no1bubba]

Some of my zoa's are swollen to the size of a small baked bean and closed tight. Started Wednesday and more are closing and look like they are filling with water. Read the net last night and looked for nudi's after lights out but only found baby bristle worms. Bubba

We need more info and perhaps a picture, please.
Changes in the system?
How long are the polyps in the tank?
Params? ...
