Zoa & Paly Issue

[Y-Diver]

I run a mostly SPS dominated tank with a few LPS and several Zoanthids and Palys and have lately been having some issues with the Z's & P's.... Is it possible that the water is too clean? Or what might be some other possibilities? No Nudis & no Pox.... I have a 6 line wrasse but have seen some large pods at night. Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated as I would hate to lose several high end polyps.

Thanks,

Your tanks lighting, size and water params would be helpfull to determine what is going on Also a better explanation of the symptoms.

Are you running a UV? This is from my own experience. Once, I got the bright idea to put a UV Sterilizer on my zoa tank as soon as I did I woke up the next morning and they we're clearly showing me they did not like it. So I took it off and never had a problem since. I know some people run them and there zoas dont react but mine did

I have never heard of that one nor will I bite.

I agree with flyy

Have you dipped the frags..recently?

Is this a new tank and what Lurking said? good luck

150W Phoenix 14K & (2) 36W PC (MH about 6 months old and PC 1 month old), 29G BC, Ca - 460, Alk - 9.3, Mg - 1300, Phosphate & Nitrate undetectable.

The polyps look sickly - by that I mean they used to fill up full of water and be very puffy and now they still open mostly but look half the size they were and have been.

Let me know if you need more explanation and I will help.

Thanks,
