Help my zoas.

Something on my zoa.
Yesterday it was fine. This morning it looked like it was surrounded by roots. They are white and cover the zoas. The palys are not as infested, but it is still on some of them.

I did dip it.

 

[Bunnee911]

It looks like tiny plant roots.

I have this in my tank too, but it doesn't seem to bother anything. Tagging along to see what you find out.

 

[Bunnee911]

Thinking fungus atm

 

[Bunnee911]

Dipped in 50/50 peroxide and took a toothbrush to it. Now, we wait.

 

[Bunnee911]

The fungus is gone. The polyps of paly bounced back, but the zoas are still closed.

 

[TheEngineer]

Progress!

 

[Bunnee911]

No, it is coming back. What is next?

 

[TheEngineer]

You could do a straight peroxide or freshwater dip. Don't do too many dips too close or the corals will get stressed out more.

 

[Bunnee911]

I did another iodine dip and took it out of my dt.

Furan 2 seems to always do the trick. I dip any zoa that looks distressed no matter what is causing. They do better after 2-3 dips so far its been 100% successful in reviving zoas for me.

 

[Bunnee911]

I will order some. I have been dosing Red Sea no3 po4x. I wonder.....

If they are white/opaque tubes then they could be sponges. I had some on some Zoas and they closed as well.

 

[Bunnee911]

The second dip in iodine cured it. Still don't know what it was. I backed off and stopped the no3 po4x dosing.

 

[TheEngineer]

Great!

Really looked like some sort of sponge to me.
