Do you possibly have something in your tank picking on them? Or any sudden changes in parameters or lighting.

i raise my calcium. was about 380 i raise it to 420

my lighting not change for month but i change the placement but they are a the same depth(but not in the same angle..)

i found a month or two ago, a polyclad flatworm...(a very big one) remove him but i check for other and never found more...

The white spots makes me think of zoa pox

They look like they have algae on them. Try a dip in some tank water plus h2o2.

i just dip them on revive(two little fishy)..

i will see tomorrow

is the peroxide dip do the same thing than the revive?



how can i be sure is zoa pox?

Dip inn hydrogen peroxide dip mix with tank water in a little container

Make sure there is good flow also. Seems like a filament is growing over them. Its not zoa pox since those are palys.

Looks like a little cyano on em.

Since you already dipped them, just clean them off & make sure they have good flow. A soft (new) toothbrush can be used to gently clean them off, or even just your fingertips. Possibly move them back to where they were before if they were doing fine there. If they don't improve after cleaning & moving, then try the peroxide dip. I always try to use non chemical solutions first & peroxide as a last resort.

Polyclads eat snails, not corals. Calcium level doesn't matter since they aren't skeletal corals.

Agree with sushi

 

[scubachrist]

i cant place them exactly on the same spot because i change the aquascape
(maybe this is the problem)

but i will try to find a good spot with good flow and the same placement vs the light

thx
will hope they will be good

I think is the astrenia who kill my paly

many times i found astrenia on top of a zoa or a paly... Or see some group of paly/zoa closed because of astrenia


now... how i can get the population in control or just make them disapear...
i have thinked about harlequin shrimp but i have a zebra eel....
