I've seen this happen, but I don't know what it is. I'm 99% sure it's not light, for a variety of reasons (I didn't change lighting, lots of other zoas around it doing fine, etc.).
 
Hi organism,
No I have them for about six months, in fact one and get the three were born

Hi modernreef, nothing has changed in my tank for months, only the lights and from what I've noticed, they have different light requirements

but actually I have no idea what may be going

Today and moved them out of site and I worry even more because they are not closed, they stay
in the same state

Here the photos

Have you looked at night to see if there are any pests bothering them? I've seen this happen to zoas in my tank and over time, it went away. But if your parameters are good, which they are, then I've found it to be pests.
 
It isn't light, your water may be too clean. This happened to me when I sold all my fish and really didn't feed the tank now. Now that I'm feeding regularly and stopped skimminf they are getting their color back.
 
I would think it's an adaptation problem and/or lack of system's maturity /organic balance.
But could be so many things...
Another thought is light deficiency /bleaching.
It's so hard to find out exactly what is causing that kinda problem when we don't know the system at all...

I would bring GS down to 1.023.
NO3 to zero or undetectable.
Calcium to 420ppm.
Temp to 26°C (78.8°F)

Ibtigr33 greetings

Do not think that's it, this is because if any open during the day or while you have nothing bothering him in passing were not only those 2

Zoalander greetings, note that currently only one clown and I have very little food, worst fall in the same because no others are affected

Greetings Kevin32, might actually

A. Grandis greetings, well I give details of my system is + - a 1950lts between sump and display, on December 2 is a year and six months, six months ago I attacked the ich killing all my fish except for this clown, that following three months leave my aquarium without fish, until about 3 weeks ago I went back to get this clown after their treatment course, also take the opportunity to change my t5 with led

These 2 zoanthind thus have a week and as I said before there are 4 and only 2 have this problem

regards

PD:a photo of my system, today no3 3.0ppm

Hi Tebo,

I won't be much help to this thread, sorry, I'd just like to know more about your set up. Size, filtration. Do you just have one overflow? Reason why I ask is because I like your tank and want something similar!
Nice tank!
 
Well I commented that the zoanthids move to a less enlightened began to recover

Thank you all for lending your support

Hi kingtang

My tank measures 300cm x 80cm x 65cm high with a coast to coast overflow
The return pump is a Hamerhead reeflo two closed loop with their reeflo hammerhead

The filtration is by a ats together with vsv

Illumination from 88 Cree LED 3 and 5 watts, divided between white, blue, red, uv, green and cyan

But I will take 133led
