    See if your pH is low.
    "Perfect" doesn't tell anyone what your parameters actually are, so that limits the help that can be given.

    have you add any new zoas to your tank lately? I am thinking it is either zoa pox or nudibranchs. The best way to tell this is to just take the coral out and look at it with a magnifying glass.

    Vitamin C actually does very well for zoas. This is the only thing that i actually dose that I can not test for. I use Brightwell Vitamin C and not sure about using human form (i have read many articles on people doing it) but i found it easier to just buy it.

    I dip and try to QT all corals that I buy, however I ALWAYS do monti and zoas. Those pest that come on those 2 types of corals are horrible and can wipe out your colony over time.

    I just recently bought a zoa frag that had zoa pox. Luckily I had them in a qt tank or else all my colonies could have developed it. (dip does nothing for zoa pox) The vitamin c really helped the pox and the coral is coming back nicely in qt.


    It sounds like you have a nice zoa collection and expensive pieces. Definatly get a picture if you can and list your paremeters so people can help you better
