Thats 4 buds of babies overnight can they even grow that high up from the base ?! Im afraid its a fungus and im losing sleep over it.

 

[Rob&Gab]

yes they can grow on the stem of the zoa i have plenty of zoas/palys that do that. t worry just yet. like i said give it a few days your zoas looks fine right now.

Okay thanks, ill keep an eye out!

looks like fungus. try a furan 2 dip.

Id say babys it does happen but kinda unusual to sprout from the stock vs the foot but that may be how their glued down.If its zoa pox the appendage will look whiteish if its babys it will look the same color as the stock just a tad darker but yes it would merrit a furan 2 dip if the bumps turn white

The thing is its on all of the polyps. Its more yellowish right now but if it whitens up over the next few days ill try the dip. Im still leaning towards a fungus than newcomers..

The zoa looks very stressed and you don't get that many babies from one day to another.

Ruled out the babies theory, they started to look more like egg sacs so I decided to go through that direction. Right now two of them have opened up, im hoping at least one more of the other two will. In your experience, how have you handled egg sacs on a zoa? I placed glue over them to prevent hatching, but in the future id like to do something less abraisive just cause it was so close to the skirt of the zoa.

It was zoa pox, and it was taken care of before anything melted!

Yes and no. It stopped the spread immediately.I dipped a toothbrush in hydrogren peroxide and scrubbed it off, then did a little wash on them and they were all better. Those zoas doubled to 4 polyps now.

Thanks Jay, ill be hitting you up for those hallucinations once I finish doing mods on my tank ! Out of all the zoas I got from you I only lost the super saiyan everything else is doing great.
