It’s started about a month and a half ago with the polyps closing a little at a time not opening back up a few days went by and no improvements I started doing some stake out night and day watching for anything that could be eating are picking at them with no luck nothing till the colony is almost gone.

Well after seeing a few polyps starting to close up on another colony I looked even closer and found these little guys that you can see in the pic{not too good they are very small} very small white looking bugs I tried picking a few off with some tweezers to get a better look but they just get squish when I try to pick them off.
I did a 30 gal water change on took out three different piece that had them on it and did a dip with coral dip{what I had around the house} until I finished the water change, after one day everything look good but by day two I can see them again not as many but they are still there

If anyone has come across these please let me know what helped any info is welcome

I bought a colony of really nice zoas from a broke down LFS for super cheap and some of them look like your first few photos.....they were full of flatworms, nudis and snails.

I dipped them with FWE and Lugols a couple of times over a few days and they are now starting to open up.
