Red slime zoanthid?

[Hallowhead]

Howdy,

My one set of zoanthids won't open and continue to shrink as all others are doing better again. Nothing has changed for this zoanthid to stop doing well.

It appears to have some red slime on it that I can't baste or brush off with a tooth brush what can I do??

Any reef coral dip will clean it. Any type will work, revive is what I use. 15 min dip will kill any algae or parasites growing on the zoes.

I don't have any of that on hand - but I would need to remove the coral from it's glued location... what else can I use? Hydrogen peroxide?

Yes Hydrogen peroxide will work.

Dip has been complete... it still appears to be there.. let's see how it does over the next hour.

It could take a day or two to see results
