laxilla
I woke up this morning and some of my zoas where missing. They were ripped right off of the coral plug...they seemed to be secured I don't know what happened. The only other things I have in my tank are a clown fish, a couple blue leg hermits, a couple scarlet leg hermits and three turbo snails. Any thoughts?

O btw I have a 14 gallon biocube.

Hermits are the most likely culprits. However, maybe they weren't as secure as you thought; normally hermit crabs don't rip off coral that is well attached (but it is common for them to turn over / knock over frags).

edit: I thought you meant the polyps fell off.

my guess would be an unknown hitchhiker crab. Ive had that happen before. Unless theres a great deal of flow where you were keeping them

Hitchhiker of some kind. Most likely a gorilla or emerald crab.
