Have a fairly large Zoa colony that for the past week about 1/4 of it in one area won't open. I also have a Duncan that doesn't fully open or at Least is a bit deflated. All other corals are doing great. This just doesn't make sense. I haven't changed anything and all my params check out good. Even if something in the water was out of whack then it would affect more than just a select few Zoa polyps.. All help is appreciated... Im stumped!
 
Here are some pics...

found this really good write up about it on another forum hope it helps.

Thanks so much for the time you took to share that with me! I read through it and started comparing the pics to my zoos and found that I had 2 tiny Asterina star fish on my zoa colony. I got them out and now the zoas are starting to open back up slowly but surely! Thanks again!
