Are they in too high of a flow area? This will irritate them.

are there any parasites?
do they have some sort of fungal infection or something?
have you tried any dips?
what are your lights?
what are the tankmates?

What is your salinity?? Do you test with refractometer or Hydrometer? Also it would help if you listed parameters.

 

[salt.mama]

have not tried any dips, biocube stock andtankmates are 5turbos, 4hermits and a clown, corals are toadstool leather,hairy shrooms,trumpet ,green star polyp,1.025. all water tests are fine PH is alittle low, I use distilled water and reef crystals 2 1/2gal water change every 2 weeks.

Parasites are the first thing that came to my mind as well. If your lights are sufficient, then I would iodine dip them. I use Seachem Reef Dip Coral Disinfectant. Some sea spiders eat zoanthids as do some nudibranches. How close is your GSP?
