Yea I'm definitly worried about them - it may be too late - they need more light I think they have used up all they're reserves and are at the point where it may be too late to save them - sorry!! move them up to where they get good light and current and cross your fingers. Also by the way I see a shroom growing on them, I do not think this is the prob though as the whole colony is failing, not just a localized area around the shroom and the same goes for the torch - it has the potential to kill what it touches but it would not kill the colony like this. This is a failure to acclimate problem - the coral simply couldn't survive in your tank. This particular zoa was acclimated to more intense light and couldn't shift its zooxanthellae before using up its energy reserves. too bad it sure was pretty, but maybe............. never give up!! Zoas are an odd bunch - I've got some that love all the light they can get and I have some that are almost shaded and growing great - and there is no stead fast rule with them, some people have them in with SPS's and MH light- others in lower light shroom tanks??????????? who knows? each colony/type is different even though we tend to group them
wish I could say more to help :( good luck!
