    I seriously wish I could help. I've had about 4 different frags of zoas and only one has made it. I have tons of LPS, SPS, and other softies that are doing fantastic. I just seem to have a hard time keeping zoas and have no clue why!

    yeah I'm stumped lol no Zoa pox, nudis, or anything visible.. I'm beginning to thinnk it might be some type of Zoa disease.. Maybe I'll have to get some sort of a dip or medication, to dip all my frags in... blahhh more money down the drain
