Identify?

Something is all over my zoa colony. Anyone know what it is?

Has a sponge look to it. Not sure though.

Sponge.

Snail eggs? You need a magnifying glass or a microscope to get a nicer look.

That's about as good as I can get it. Any way to save the zoas?

I'm going with sponge as well. You should be able to brush it off lightly with a tooth brush

How long has it been like that? Have you tried a baby toothbrush?

just noticed it today. At first I thought something was eating them. Looked like half the colony had just disappeared. On closer inspection it appeared to be covered in white fuzzy stuff. Took it out to have a good look and it's more firm than fuzz. And it's not brushing off with a toothbrush.

You can also use tweezers. Just be careful not to damages the polyps

Thanks all! I've cleaned it up best I can and dipped in Revive, shall see how it goes.
