I do a 20% WC once a week. In fact, I did one Saturday so it's nearly time for another.
Zoanthids not opening and withering away...

Brandon, how should I dose iodine for the xenias ect then? Lugols? 2LF iodine?
It'll take me quite a while to prep enough water for a huge WC like that, but I guess it's worth a shot.
BTW, thanks so much to each of you for your input. I really appreciate it. I went to our LFS and asked the guy what his opinion was on why my zoas were having this issue. He was no help as usual. He said he has never been able to keep zoantgids alive and he has no idea why. So really, guys, thanks. I'm really leaning on your input.

they can be frustrating but the enjoyment is there if you put the work into it i dont believe it when people say they cant grow them it just takes some tweaking of your system , eventually you get it all figured out.

Hmm, my zoos looked like that under too low light, once upon a time.
Did you glue a plate coral to a rock?

I've seen Zoos do weird things even if everything seems great. I didn't notice, but are you running any carbon or something like carbon? I'd do that for a week to make sure there are no bad chems in the water (I actual prefer to use chemi pure as it removes silica, copper, etc.).
I've saved at least 4 tanks (not all mine) that had mysterious zoo die-offs, an no other obvious cause, by temporarily dosing with vitamin C. There are threads on it and where to get the right type of vitamin C in zoo forum. This is a really good "cure" for zoo pox too.
That's my $0.02. Good luck!

Thanks so much guys!
I'm all in on this build so whatever it takes, that's what I'll do.
RYC:
No I didn't glue down that plate coral. I had a monitors glued down there and moved it because the light was too much for it right there. So I just used the hunk of glue as a platform to rest the plate on.
I actually do use chemipure. Usually chemipure elite. I always keep a fresh bag running int middle chamber.

Last night, like I do so many nights, I combed through the tank when the lights were off and I found a small nudibranch. So there you go... It may have been nudibranchs causing the problem all along.
Also I started dosing Vitamin C and that seems to have gotten some of the zoas to open up some
