I ordered frags from seacrop and 8 of the 9 are nice and healthy. But one of my zoanthid frags looks sickly. Zome of the polyps are white and look dead. Pics below.
This is about a week or 2 ago

Do they have some type of disease? Or did some of the polyps not make it through shipping. These are my first zoas so I dont know much about them. If this is a disease will it spread to my other zoanthids?

From the pictures it looks healthy. Around the edge there seems to be new growth or new polyps starting out. They tend to be a lighter color in the infant stages. I wouldn't get worried unless your colony is closed up. But all looks good from the pick!! Good luck and keep us informed.
