I think the fish list request was a good question honestly. One thing about zoa's and palley's there's lots of pest that can effect them like flatworms,spiders and mites. Serious ,really ,this is true. I would suggest you dip the effected colony in revive. Give it a good bath in a glass bowl and look for small spider looking bugs then rinse it in another bowl with freshly mixed water and use your Baster also then look again.Then see if they come back. Zoa's will receed to protect the colony then magically reappear when the threat leaves or starves off. If you see something that looks odd goto zoa.com and look it up and follow the advice given. I would not blame the skimmer. Your skimmer is more for the benefit of removing the waste from fish and adding oxygen to your water column. Zoa's and palley's do like slightly higher No3's (10-30 ppm) also as suggested by my nemesis . Adding lipids and rotifers would be good and zooplankton also but a bath would be my first reaction. Good luck !
Mites?
Are you referring to Zoa Pox or is it something different?
