I'd get the phosphates down. You want them undetectable or 0.03 with a standard test kit. Your Ca, Mag, and pH could stand to come up, but they're not likely causing the problem (they're borderline ok...just need to make sure they don't dip lower).
Ugh, sorry that link wasn't helpful. I looked at some of the links, but it was an old thread.
How long has this problem been going on? Is it just affecting one colony? By melting, do you mean they are getting a film over them, and when the film blows off, the coral seems more shrunken? Or do they have any sort of white (or other color) fuzz on them (indicative of a fungus). Any bumps on them? Any nearby corals?
I'd start running some new carbon. It'll help rid the tank of toxins floating around that might be irritating the coral in the meantime.
Well, I'm not arguing, but I've been told zoas like relatively "dirty" water. I wouldn't think that low amount (almost undetectable, colorwise) would bother them, really?
These are all new zoas, except that the older brown button polyps and yellows (parazoanthus gracilis) have also closed down for the most part. My guess is that something I did around the time (or something that happened in the tank) about the same time (mid March) I got the new ones is what is causing the issues. The question is what.
When I say melting, I mean shrinking and disappearing. One set, I believe it's the Rainbows, are doing this.
The larger ones are just balled up, but there's nothing on them. Nothing near them, either. Interestingly enough, I had to put a trio of Red Hornets into a shot glass because I knocked 'em off the rock I'd glued them to, and they are opening up.
What about that shot glass is making those 3 happy?
