What is on my zoas? **PICS**

those would be snail eggs. I would get them off asap with a soft tooth brush then wash the colony really well in a bucket of tank water. Then i would do a coral dip. If possible i would isolate the zoas to their own tank so as not to infect the rest of your tank if the eggs do hatch out to most likely a zoa eating snail

are some of the white spots zoa pox?

 

[Reef Pets]

Looks like two different things in the photos. Some look like snail eggs as stated above and other look like zoa pox to me.
I would have to say that 99 percent of the spots are zoa pox.

first two pics might be zoa pox and the rest seem like eggs. I would do a furan 2 dip since iodine dip wont do anything if its pox.

good luck

That Would Be Zoanthid Eating Nudibranch Eggs And Zoanthid Pox...

Ok I'll get some furan2 sip. I dipped them in a high lugols concentration and FW today. I also removed all the white spots I could.

Also, try putting them in high flow. I have never dealt with zoa pox but I have heard that high flow seems to help after the dips.

Agreed, Zoa pox and Nudibranch eggs.
Furan 2 and Revive them. Brush off the eggs manually w/ a dip

 

[Reefness]

Yeah...an keep a lookout for them after that. If you do see them you can suck them into a turkey baster and discard them...then eventually, they'll be gone

The eggs are removed best with tweezers being careful not to break the sack. You can pretty much remove them all without loosing any and then hold the zoas in front a of a powerful powerhead in a bucket of tank water for a few minutes to blow off any that may have detached from the egg sack. Quarantine the zoas for a couple of weeks. You can also add a couple drops of flatworm exit to a bucket of tank water and keep the zoas in it for 15-30 minute and kill off any nudis that you may miss. This will not kill the eggs though. They have to be removed manually. The zoa pox as mentioned above can be treated with the Furan 2.

I am currently dipping my zoas in Furan-2, as far as the nudis I am going to treat them after I cure the zoas pox, I don't want to over dip the zoas.
