I'm not a Trekkie/Trekker but I love space sci-fi. For the past few months I've been going back and watching episodes of Star Trek online. This one just happened to be next in line. 
My wife teases(complains) that I'm addicted to this, along with a few other things, like this MB.

That's a relief, but it might be temporary. That 2nd pic really looks like an invasive sponge problem that could be brushed off.

Funny, I just watched an episode of Star Trek - Enterprise where the alien organism looked almost exactly like that kind of sponge.

Issue seems resolved. After waiting patiently they are coming out once again :).

 Thanks everyone!

Please don't wait for your husband. You can do this, and the sooner the better. Next thing we need is a full tank pic please.

That second pic makes me think it's invasive sponge, not dieing but growing. It's good to have sponge growing, but we don't like it when the battle results in the death of the loser.
Brushing it off in the sink and then rinsing it under the tap may be my suggested treatment, but only after seeing the entire tank.

Thanks Steve. Yea the one colony seems to be doing well so I am hopeful we may have dealt with the problem.
 
 I will have Troy get a hold of you Sat when he is back in town. Thanks so much for the help.

I agree with doing an iodine dip. It seems to work more than anything else. A couple quick questions about your dosing schedule: Do you dose Iodine/Iodide in your tank? Actual numbers on your parameters would help us to help you more. It also sounds like these polyps have been through a lot of stress with the various treatments. Sometimes it takes them a week or two to recover from being brushed, dipped, moved, etc. Feel free to call me if you need any help with anything 435-830-8855 P.S. I still have TONS of macro for you and I should be around all day Saturday and Sunday this weekend, or if you like I can bring it out to you.]]> Tue, 07 Dec 2010 20:10:05 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45161&PID=388705&title=zoanthid-issue#388705 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45161&PID=388674&title=zoanthid-issue#388674 Author: ptronsp

you guys are talking about bugs i was looking at some of my polyps that had being closed and i noticed a brown sponge like growing around them it looks kind of like the dirt when the ants build their nest i used a tooth brush to brush it of like mark said and the rock looks clean and the polyps didnt get damaged, so pam you should check if you have this "sponge" looking thing]]> Tue, 07 Dec 2010 13:52:42 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=45161&PID=388659&title=zoanthid-issue#388659
