Try to look out for nudibranch feeding on your zoas . Might also due to zoas in the process of mutliplying which will goes into closing mode for a few days & then you'll noticed tiny news zoas popping up ;)

It has been for weeks that the zoas are closed but didn't see any nudis. I try to monitor closely again. Thanks.

You mean after dipping in coral RX, your affected zoas are fully opened?

Not yet but can try. Was given this suggestion by another senior reefer.

Does the skirt seems like it's being eaten up? From your pic the skirts seemed shorter than first pic.

If it is, it is most likely a pest. Could be nudis, crabs or worms.

Would suggest a dip, either RX or freshwater flush.

If possible, try using a torchlight to monitor at night and you might catch the culprit.

Good luck bro

if no coral RX, can always use normal iodine, this helps by eliminate any parasites or infected zoas. using the main tank water and a few iodine, dip for around 8 mins.
yes coral rx
