ZOAS - Dissappearing off rock???

[newfish]

There's green fungus on top of some of them, all water tests are ok. Any ideas???

There are some fungal infections that kill zoanthids, although I've only seen and heard of white ones. I forget what the treatment is, but I recall that it is usually an acute, not a chronic problem, and may kill a colony, buy usually doesn't kill a whole tank worth. Search for zoa fungus or something like that, and you'll probably get more info.

Nudi's?

I would do a hydrogen proxide dip, the ones that are covered dont have a great chance of recovering but the ones not infected yet should do fine. The proxide will kill the fungus I usually do a cap of proxide and a gal of tank water. You can also do a fresh water dip w/proxide but I dont think you use as much. Check out reef central zoanthid forum for directions of the fresh water dip.

Maybe Newfish could cut you off an infested polyp?
