First off Welcome to TRT!
What are your test #'s? Did you acclimate the rock with the zoas on it? I lost some of my button polyps that had algae on them when I got them. I dipped them in loguls fw dip and removed the bad polyps.

You're need to be a little more specific than "ok". Welcome to The Reef Tank.

welcome to TRT
and i agree what is the SG level of the tank they came from, how did you place the LR with them on it in to the tank?

Hi all, sorry for the late reply as i was not around for few days.
Thanks for all the feedback and to the truth, i dun really measure the water quality. I just assume that the parameters is ok as my new bought anemone and some softies such as shrooms doin quite well. when i bought the lr, the zoas colony was doin well open. anyway, i already found out wat happen. tht day i made a mistake as i was chg the water and overdoze on the salt so the salinity was way up to 1.028. tis might just be the caused, i guess. anyway, the whole colony was gone and i might try a new colony soon (after my waters quality improved). hehe

i agree ,
before buying any more coral for the tank, plaese test everything. Also if you can give us an idea of the amount of LR in the tank. that will be very helpful.
Each time you add LR to the tank you can casue a cycle to happen. this can hurt if not kill the corals and critters in the tank.
How are you measuring the SG level of the tank? since you are running a reef tank you can look forward to having the SG level around 1.025-1.026
