Levi do you have any tips for saving zoas/paly's? I'm getting to my wit's end with them melting for no apparent reason. I lost my Jason Fox Blood Shot's and now my Space Monsters are melting away I don't have spiders, nudi's or pox or anything I can tell that's bothering them. I do have asterina stars but they never go anywhere near my zoa's/paly's. I did notice something a couple weeks ago, there was something strange looking on the inside stalk of my space monsters(notice the dark lines inside the far left play, this is also the one that melted on me a couple days ago) They also look skinny and so do a couple other of my paly frags.
Do a water & carbon change and see if that helps. I see allot of mystery rot both online and in my tank I have a feeling it's either some sort of coral pathogen or bacteria/ fungus, IME once the mat starts to melt it's game over so fragging the healthy location is required.

Peroxide, Fresh & Coral RX dips might help but I find stressed coral responds badly to dips regardless.Watch the zoas @ night as well, I think you might be surprised where those safe little star fish end up.

I've just started the switch, and I can tell everyone these Radions are really underrated IMO. Right now I have one side by side with a high end 400W 20k radium, and at 100% the Radion is brighter! I'm starting at 33% as to not bleach anything.
On full intensity they severely ****ed my zoas off, I dialed the first set back from 30% up to 100% over the span of 3 weeks. Everything is happy now, I will be doing something similar with the back row.
