Hi All,
So over the last few months all of the Zoanthids in my basement tank started slowly closing up. Started with one frag, then another, and now it's all of them. I took one of my small frags from that tank and moved them into my upstairs tank and they happily opened right back up within a day.
The water parameters are nearly identical in both tanks, except the basement has around 10ppm nitrates that I've been battling for a while.

Normally these guys have their feelers spread out a good 1/8" or more. Any idea what I could have in my basement tank that would be causing this? All of my other corals are doing just fine (mushrooms, hammerheads, acans, brains).
I'm using the same RO/DI water source and salt mix for both tanks.
