Kind of looks like Dino or a Cyano bloom.

gently blow them off with a turkey baster. Looks like a Light case of Dino. With baster, they should clean up

Looks like the slime from vermeted snails lol. But yea keep em clean they will open. Zoa are hardy

 

[Tahoe61]

Blow off the growth. If it redevelops during the next day with lights on and air bubbles develop on the strings think dino.

Looks like dinos. Id do a hydrogen peroxide dip just to be sure it doesng spread

Turkey baste them 2-3 times a week. Still not really better or worse.

Ok- Here is the plan to get rid of this AND IT DOES WORK:
Starting tonight. . . . Turn off whites and run your blues at 5%. If you dont have a lot of coral, just go black (all lights off ) for 4 -5 days. Room lights ok. Dose 1ml of peroxide per 10 gals each night. During the days using same dosage. . dose bacteria supplement such as bacter 7. Blow off the loose dino and either net it or let it run into filter. Clean filter pad(s) each day. Do not feed any coral food or NoPox additives as they are food for the dinos.
DAY 4-5 YOU WILL COME TO REALIZE. . . IT IS GONE !!!

Ive tried the whole reducing the lights thing. Dosing peroxide scares me. What product should I use?

Regular store peroxide at 3%. I still add .5 ml per 10 gal every other day in my main tank which once had this. Pics are proof that peroxide is safe
