I would like to know the answer to this as well. I was just reading that zoas will brown out under too much lighting. I moved mine lower and the color is coming back.

Ok, I went back to the website I was at and it said it can happen from too much light or not enough light. I guess they are saying you have to find the sweet spot. If they are down lower, move them up a little and see what happens. Try spot feeding as well. I am not an expert as you can tell but just telling you what I had read about it to see if it helps you at all. Look up the requirements of radioactive Dragon Eyes and see what it says about required lighting.

Radio Active Dragon Eyes need moderate lighting according to Live Aquaria. If moderate lighting is not provided, they can be fed baby brine shrimp to help. (thats what they said.)
