    Could the lights be too much? I have 4 54watt 2actinic plus and 2 actinic white 10 k

    It's probably 4 inches from the sand
    Should I move it down or just leave alone?

    Yeah, water params please!

    And also, with my expierence with zoas, mine did that after i came back from a trip in LA and my water temp was at 89 degrees...I fixed the temp..they recovered within 2 weeks and were good.

    But it also could be other things too.

    You still have some zoanthid eating nudi's there. What brand of coral dip did you use?

    You didn't have them BEFORE but now you definitely have them. You need to dip them and all other zoanthid colonies you have if you've had this colony for more than a day or two....there's a good chance they will have spread from this colony to your other zoanthids.

    Curt, out of curiosity, what did you see to alert you to Nudibranch?

    I moved them lower and they seem to be doing better. What should I dip in?
