See if any of these guys have been seen in your tank and around your polyps.
and 2nd is what are your water parameters especially, pH, ALK/DKH, Salinity, Temp, Cal, Mag

When did they start doing this?
Did you make any changes, additions, water changes, any additives or new additives?
Did you change or modify your lighting in any way? Lighting changes alone can sometimes cause polyps to distort.
This is definitely not parasitical.
Testing all of your parameters is where I would start checking.
And believe it or not, all polyps don't have to same skirt appearence, but you said they didn't look this way before right?
Are you running Carbon?
I would consider doing a 20 % water chnage with well aerated water if you are still concerned.
How's your circulation BTW?
Good luck and an update would be great.

I haven't changed any flow or water parameters. Im running carbon and ozone. Flow is med-high. It seems to only be happening to the zoas frags that are 1-4 polyps and started a couple weeks ago. I haven't had any die they just look different.
The only change was I added Seachem PhosGuard. I will remove it and do a 20% water change. I will post a update.
Temp 78
1.026 - was at 1.023 two days ago and I brought it up.
PH 7.8-8
Cal - 405
Alk - 9.6
Mag 1250
