Any ideas whats going on?

I noticed one of my zoas looking like this earlier today. Does anyone have a guess as to what may be going on? Could it be water related? If so I could post my params as I just did a test on Friday. The one in question is the one that is missing part of the one side.

Could be zoo eating nudibranchs. I had them a few years ago. The nudibranchs are really tiny and take on the color of what they're eating. I could really only see them at night- I used a flashlight to help me focus the camera to get these shots:

Thanks Greg, that was my first thought and have been looking everynight for those. I had a few before and picked them out with some tweezers but havent seen any for a long time. Those are great pictures of the little buggers.

Thanks Nate. I was shocked when I saw how bad the infestation was in the pics. Egg coils too- they were all over the place. I tried freshwater dipping and an Arrow Crab. Eventually they went away but it took quite a while. If you have a camera with a macro function try using a flashlight to help the camera focus and take a picture with a flash. Doesn't have to be a super sharp picture to see if the buggers are still in there.
