Is this Zoa Melt?

[Drix]

I've never really seen a picture of zoa melt, so I thought I'd post this one.

Questions are, Is this melt, or is there something else going on here? This was a colony of african purple hornets I picked up 3-4 weeks ago. All my other zoa's are fine. I did a lugols/fwe dip before tank placement.

African purple hornets, african steel blues, etc. are notorious for melting. Sorry to see this looks like they are goners.

You pick these up from Extreme Corals? I have some doing the exact same thing. Only a couple heads are showing. I cut a frag up for DBTC to share among reef club and insurance but unfortunately the person I gave it too said it was a goner. All my other zoas and palys open just find. Not sure what this is sensitive too.

Any way to save them?
