What is on my zoa's?

[R1GG5]

It seems to be making them awful unhappy. Any help is appreciated.

IS that another coral wrapped around them?

I'll get another picture this afternoon under the whites only. My camera hates it when the blues are on. It hasn't always been there. Popped up in the last week or so.

Could be snail eggs?

Looks like sponge in my opinion

It changed...

Sponge or eggs, can you try to remove it or blow it with a baster?

Will I damage the coral in doing so?

Honestly, looks like sundial snail eggs and that also looks like a sundial snail next to it. They prey on zoas, I'd dip that coral and remove the snail and eggs.

I agree^^, defiantly looks like sundial eggs and snail.

Okay sorry for the dp bit does revive kill the snail eggs? I'm having problems removing them all. Tried sucking them off with a syringe and removing them with tweezers..

I'm not sure if it will to be honest. You can try a soft toothbrush.

Dipped it in revive for for 10 minutes and dropped it in my qt tank. Used a soft brush to scrub the eggs off... I'll dip it again in a few days.

forget revive dip,,get Bayer and find some threads on how to use it and learn the coral and human precautions that go with its use,,,bayer is the best dip out there right now..IMO
use 15ml per cup of tank salt water ..

I'll snag some Bayer this weekend I think the only place that still carries it is Lowe's.
