I recently bought a nice large rock with 4 different kinds of zoas on it from a reputable LFS. I have a RSM 130, has been set up since Dec. 2008. I set the rock on top of my existing rocks, and everything looked great, except the reverse gorilla nipple zoas (they were awesome in the store!), which never opened back up and are now melting. They are the only ones doing this--any ideas? They are all in the same placement (lights, water flow, etc).... Water quality is good (no ammonia, N02, N03, Phosphorus). Calcium was low (370) a few days ago because we did a large water change and didn't add the 2-part solution, but I've been working on this. Magnesium was also 1170 two days ago, 1270 yesterday, and I've been dosing it for two days now.
Are reverse gorilla nipple zoas more 'fragile' than others? Any ideas??
Thanks!

Also--should I scrape the remaining melting zoas off so they don't create a bad effect on their neighbors?
