Nudi eggs are C shaped. Those are pox caused by all swings or anything that really stresses it out or from other zoas that has pox. I've treated my red hornets with furan 2 but my Rastas I haven't seen much progress. Id like to know how to treat it as well. Hope someone has some useful info. Good luck to your friend.
 
I'm thinking snail eggs and not zoapox, I forget what snail lays these eggs
 
That is zoa pox not any eggs. Needs to be treated with furan 2 dip. Mix the furan with tank water till a nice pea green. Put zoas in it for a good 20-30 minutes. I have gone up to an hour. Repeat dip for 4 straight days then go 3 days with out dipping. Them 4 days of dip and 3 days with out. Rinse in tank water before returning to the tank. You need to do this 4 days dip 3 days rest for 3-5 weeks.

You can do one or 2 dips and they will go away but the minute you give them a chance to come back they will. Why I always recommend 3-5 weeks of dipping.
 
Thanks for all the input guys! First time I have ever seen this my zoas are always happy lol. I did have a bad case of nudis in my garden once but I spent endless sleepless nights sucking them out and breaking their life cycle. I never saw any eggs and have been told that they are hard to find and need to be scrapped off so I wasn't sure if these were them! I have these guys quarantined now and have ordered the Farun 2 and it should be in the shop this week and treatment will start if they last that long! I dipped them several times in RX and it seemed to help some!
