I have several colonies of these zoos. They are mostly green, with pink/brown stalks, and a few that are mostly brown thrown in. The problem is that 2 of the colonies seem to be disintegrating. All the zoos open up fine, but they just turn clear and die slowly, starting on one side. THe other side of the colony is perfectly fine. Even the zoos right next to the dying area are fine.
I dont see any nudibranchs or snails. All water parameters are fine, just checked. SG tends to move around a little, as it is only a 10g tank uncovered. Maybe rises .002 a week, .003 at the most. Water changes are donw over the period of a couple hours to reduce shock.
I also dipped the zoos (in SC reef dip) when i first bought them to stop this kind of thing, as it appeared to be mildly infected when i bought them. Any ideas?
BTW, lighting is 130w of PC (65 actinic, 65 7500k)
