Frogspawn Toxicity???? ~~HELP~~~~

The other day my frogspwn (6 heads)fell on top of a very large zoanthid rock. It was on it for probably 6-8 hours until I got home from work...

I removed it and half of the polyps looked horrible,, for a couple of days, half extended, etc,, Now the entire rock looks like moosh,,,

Could this be do to the frogspawn????????
thanks
scott

FYI: All of the other zoathids in my tank look fine, my chemistry is ok, (alk is a bit low and calc is high) and no change in lighting

just added: an open brain, millipora, and a candy cane last week nothing in contact with the zoa rock...

Absolutely! That is the nature of corals. They fight. Especially when literally thrust together.

I lost a really sweet piece of porites the same way only it fell on my froggy. It was a slow and painful death too. Now, no one live above the frog spawn.
