Zoa polyps falling off

[Reef Bullet]

Over the past few days I've noticed polyps from several different zoa colonies floating around the bottom of the tank. Some of them are closed and some are open and seem happy on the floor. But what would be causing them to detach from the rest of their colonies like they are???

Too much flow?

Too much flow might be right, had it happen to me a few times.

 

[Reef Bullet]

I don't think it's too much flow cuz it's happening with zoas in all different parts of the tank, some are higher flow and some are lower.

I've noticed some of them aren't happy before I find them dropped off and they look funny like this...

 

[Reef Bullet]

Is it just me or are my pics not showing up?

 

[gr1mm]

Haha i see them just fine.

[gr1mm]

[Reef Bullet]

Does anybody know what's causing this other than too much flow?

Most are doing great but I lost a lobo last week and my war coral looks like something is eating it in a few spots. All my params are in line and stable except I did have a drop in alk about 3 weeks ago and had to increase my dosing accordingly. My acros and birdsnests are doing well and growing. Montis don't seem too happy but they haven't been happy in my tank since the move.

when it comes to your tank i dont know what happens in there lol. id say check it out at night with a red flashlight to see if anything is trying to eat them.

I think it's a virus or infection. I have a colony of people eaters that are doing the same thing. I tried dipping in revive and that was not successful. I would try a furan 2 treatment.
