Not my Zoas

Well it would be my luck, Not sure what is causing it, but my (favorite things to collect) zoas and palys are vanishing and melting. I am not having a really good week folks!

Any ideas?

Have you performed any tests? Got any recent water parameters? How are you measuring salinity? Any unidentified snails? Any pictures?

For sure check for sundial snails, also i have noticed that they do not like hair algea, they melt when around the stuff. Also do a large water change.

Snails would be my bet, if all your levels are ok. When did it start?

Levels are all in acceptable range, nitrates are up but my tank is use to that. it started about 2 weeks before Ivan hit. I thought it was just 2 rocks of Zoas I got. One died off in just a few days, the other had a trail through it. Well shortly after they were both gone and now all our others are slowly dieing. If you pick up a frag of them, they just fall apart, and look mushy. Bacteria that attacks only Zoas maybe?
I sure appreciate everyones help on this. My giant Zoas are looking alittle sick, I can't bare loosing them.
