Anyone ever had issues with Scrambled eggs losing their green skirt after being shocked and did it ever recover? These used to look amazing before a sudden salinity drop caused them to lose their green. Should I expect them to regain this in time? These have been like this for 2 months.
Parameters are stable and have been for the last 2 months.

Because they lost the green skirt. They were 100% Scrambled eggs. I sell zoas for a living
Would you happen to know what type of Zoas these are? Bought them as Halloween Zoas on a trip but and can't find them anywhere. Any input would be highly appreciated

They kinda look like LA Lakers to me. I can’t say I’ve ever seen someone label zoas as scrambled eggs with a green skirt. This is what I associate scrambled eggs as. I can’t say what exactly would have changed it’s color though. Could be a variety of chemistry changes, as I assume you haven’t changed the lighting.

I've noticed that when my phosphates rise over what my Zoas are used to they start loosing color and the first to go is usually the skirt. Have you tested them recently? Are you using idiode or idione? Those two factors themselves seem to affect zoa color, most noticeably and usually, starting with the skirts.
I hope they get better, whatever it is.

Thats exactly what they looked like prior to losing color
