zoa question specifically utter chaos

[yalt]

My utter chaos frag is starting to have a few polyps closed and it seems to have a film over the zoa as well ive noticed this before with other frags and some come back and some die what causes them to close up and grow a slight film on them??

Something could be irritating them, I've only ever seen the film when they are too far gone and melting away. For example; a frag of clockwork oranges dropped off the rock I set them on and were upside down in the sand for a day or two, I put them back up but it was too late, the film showed up and they are just about gone now.

Hurry and frag em

More like hurry up and get em to a healthy tank. Something is off in yo wata chemistry. Those are unkillable.

try to dip them (may irritate them more, but they look pretty bad)

unkillable zoas? my tank has been able to kill GSP and zoas. but my other corals (hammer, toadstool) are doing fine

I've had success with a dip and a soft brush to get the film off...

Also had success with a peroxide dip about 60/40 for no more then 3mins

peroxide dip is strong do a iodine dip with a light brush

so heres and update!

i had just left the zoas and moved a few other corals further away from them just in case they were getting stung by something every once in a while...

i also improved my filtration and consistency of water changes and they seem to be recovering nicely! you can tell they got damaged but they are on the come back! I just bought some new dip and have to dip a sunset now but im a little worried about re stressing out the zoas i think ill just leave them to be natural since they are recovering.
