Zoa Infection

So I have been stumped as to why some of my colonies of zoas are slowly melting away. I have throughly checked and it does not to be asterinas or amphipods as I first thought. Not my coral beauty which I also suspected, not pox as I inspected very closely and saw no spots. So I believe it could be a bacterial infection because on certain colonies its only affecting certain zoas and not others. But it does seem to be spreading slowly. I gave them a dip in revive and they have looked slightly better but I am very worried. I dont have a qt tank to put them in as of now and my 40 breeder is almost all zoas and I feel I could lose alot. I want to give them another dip tonight but still are very concerned. Any thoughts as to whats happening? Also some skirts are missing could a bacterial infection cause this?
 
An iodine dip could help kill anything parasitic. A bucket mixed 70/30 with tank water for a few minutes. Other than that it's difficult without a QT. Maybe try to separate them as best you can to try to test theories of it spreading.
