One zoa colony not opening

[Byrns149]

My 30 long has been set up for 6 months now and since then everything is doing great. Ive had this one zoa colony flourishing in the same exact spot for months and then a couple days ago it stops opening. All the polyps are closed except for 1 or 2 and its driving me insane. This was my prized colony!!!!!! What could it be? Literally nothing has changed.

Could be many things. Do you have a picture?

They have also grown into the rock so i cant even reposition them.

This used to be my best zoa colony now its dying quickly.

Has anything changed recently? Water parameters, coral position, lighting or anything?

Check closely for pests?

I think I'm having a similar problem. I have 5 separate zoa frags, 3 are doing fine, one is doing fine except for one small area where polyps are closed and the last one about half are closed up. I have to check for updated parameters but I don't suspect they would have changed much since last weekend. May just remove them and dip this weekend.

Is there any new thoughts on this? I have a colony doing the exact same thing. They will open a little now and then but are mainly closed.
