UPDATED PICS
Well one of my 2 original zoa colony's that I got back on 8-31-07 has started looking a little ill. I've also noticed that a couple of my people eaters haven't been opening and 1 or 2 others are starting to mushroom. They are on opposite sides of the tank and my parameters haven't swung at all (alk did drop a little under 3 mEq/L last week but I test weekly and it's fine now) Sorry for the dusty pictures, my goby has been busy this morning.
Oh and I think this is unrelated but there was some of the white soft spaghetti stuff (like in this thread http://www.bareefers.org/discussion/index.php?topic=2506.0) amongst some of the polyps but I removed it with some gentle pressure and my syringe.
EDIT: The zoa colony has also become less responsive than the others. When I squirt water on them to dust them off from time to time they would normally close up just like the other 10 frags but now they don't. They still close up at night but not when sprayed or even touched.
PH 8.2
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
Amonia 0
Phosphate <1mg/L
Alk 3.5 mEq/L
Ca 360 ppm (dosed 2 part last night)
sg 1.025
