Happy/unhappy zoas

Alright, my zoas showed some umbrella symptoms and long stalks. 

 

Here are the facts we can take into consideration 

1. Water parameters look great

Ph not sure

Kh around 8

Cal 440

 

2. Those zoas grow on a abandoned pipe, inside the pipe, lived a group of amiphpod, and they are large, they climb around zoas during the night. Probably the cause?

 

3. Lighting.

This is the part I'm not sure.

It's a fluval 24 inch bluetooth light, max output for blue/green/purple, normally I don't turn on white and red. Tank is 18 inch height, I will say zoa is about 16 inch under the light.

 

All my other corals are happy.

Definitely stretching for light.  Might want to swap out the fluval for something a little stronger, supplement the light, or move the zoas higher.
