Let me start by saying Mucho Reef is my hero
I am and avid Zoanthid lover and have been for several years.
I try very hard to prevent any problems in my tanks by being a very observant tank owner. I check water prams regularly and do regular water changes and run a quarantine tank to avoid problems from newcomers to the tank. I watch over my lil zoo collection like a hawk.
Well out of the blue I have started to have problems with some zoo's. And this happens very rapidly which is why I am concerned as to what the problem is. It seems to happen 1 colony at a time.
The colony will look just fine be fully extended and then the next day they will be withdrawn....but into a very very tight polyp. By the next day the polyp will have become even smaller. Upon very close inspection there are no bugs to be found except the occasional amphipod
.
I try moving them into a swifter current but this does not help. It only takes 4 days and they will be completely gone. I had a small colony that I quarantined so I could see if there were any internal parasites that perhaps I missed but there was nothing to be found. They just simply melt away into nothing.
I would appreciate any ideas or help anyone can provide on this.
Thank you.
