Sorry....I had them with my other zoas that are doing great. They were about half way up in my tank under 260 watts of PC lighting (75 gallon).I had a thread around a few months ago about it. I'll try to find it.

Are they yellow Zoanthids or Yellow Colony Polyps. If they are the latter, you need to feed them, they don't seem to survive on light alone.
These are Colony Polyps.

I'm hoping to have better luck, I think it could be a food issue????
thanks

I feed my corals twice a week, i don't think it was a food issue, but good luck!

 

[alyssia]

I don't think mine died due to a food issue either.

This is when I first got mine, Ive had them for about a year now... I lost power for 16 hours last FEB. and they receded. They are doing better now and about 1/2 of them are still there.
