These zoas came on my live rock. They don't look really healthy and they're kinda bleached at the stalk. Trust me though, they used to be MUCH worse; they actually had no coloration at all before. Now the zooxanthellae has returned in the head portion at least. They also droop a lot at night and I think they might have zoapox. I think a problem is that I have the lights way too high above my tank (like 14 inches). And since they're T5s, the lighting is radically less intense than it should be. The reason why they're so high is that they're 72 watts 50/50 actinic and the tank is only a 10 gallon. The only stand I had was that high. So I have two requests I guess.

1. What are these?
2. Do they have Zoapox?

(One pic is with camera flash, the other is under T5 flourescent lighting without camera flash)
