edit..
check for pods at night time. They seem attracted to zoanthus gigantus...I do not believe this a strange tale and I have seen it in person. Maybe a revive dip as they do not look too stressed at present. Maybe change their flow pattern..good luck
 
Thanks for the reply they seem to be falling off i actually found a polyp that unatached itself and is now in the sand bed on the side of the tank open weird and i also dipped in revive.
 
try a different location. A colony that size should not be having problems?? Dip again...after the polyps are closed!! and move to a different location and see what happens. I would also ditch the YSP as they can become a real problem down the road...good luck and make sure the polyps are closed with revive..
 
thanks i will try to re dip and move location with your experience where would they be best kept in the tank i have leds
