Things aren't looking so good

[koll12]

Any suggestions when polyps are melting away is there anything I can do ? I just had my blue steels and my liners melt on me ?

If my Zoas show any signs of distress, I dip them in Revive. Works for me.

Ive already tried revive and that didn't seem to work for my blue steels

check your salinity.

Is the water flow good? I've had the same problem in the past. Seems like the ones that have a decent amount of flow do better although I'm not positive this is the entire issue.

what are your parameters and tank set up?

BTW- African blue steel's have the propensity to melting

+1 on parameters

I like to do a iodine dip and then relocate zoas to lower light area if they are melting.

This in addition to checking parameters and water change if there has been a lot of time since the last one.

I've also heard of people doing furan dips and vit c dosing. However I have no experience with those. Hope they recover for you and good luck. Let us know if they turn around and recover.

dumb question, what does it look like when they are "melting"? Thanks.

Reason for the Blue Steel melting is pretty self-explainitory if you read your own thread;

You fragged a known melter a couple days after placing them in your tank - very likely they were going to melt away.

As for the lunars, did you frag them up also, or is there anything else that you did that might help us try and determine whats going on? For example, were they fragged immediately prior to you aquiring them?

More info you can give the more we can help.
