What are all of your water parameters?

 

[iliriano]

0:0:5ppm

Ca?
Mag ?

 

[jcdeng]

are you trying to ask: some are melting off but others are fine/growing, why? ??

 

[KathyC]

0:0:5ppm

Ca?
Mag ?

We'd like to see all parameters:
Ca
Alk
Magnesium
Ammonia
Nitrate
Nitrate
Salinity
Temp
pH

Are all of the zoanthids having an issue or just specific ones? A pic would alos be helpful.

We'd like to see all parameters:

Ca 420ppm
Alk ? Nit sure haven't test for it.
Ammonia 0 ppm
Nitrate 0ppm
N03 .5ppm
Salinity 1.025
Temp 77.1 to 78.6
pH 8.2
P04 0ppm
I just stated to dose iodine. Maybe that would help

If you don't have a kit for Alkalinity - you definitely do want to get one

As far as the iodine, before you dose for something, it's highly suggested that you test to see if you need it.
Iodine is in your salt mix, so you may not need it. Best to get an iodine test kit before you OD the tank on it and have a different/worse issue.

You listed:

Nitrate 0ppm
N03 .5ppm

Those are both the same thing (Nitrate).
What is the Nitrite result?

I find alk to be one of the most important for coral health.
