Zoa pox?

[Stray32]

If so, what do I do?

I noticed a large "hole" in my Tubbs colony today, and upon closer inspection, it looks like I have zoa pox. I have no idea where they came from. I have never had them in 2 1/2 years, and none of my other zoas appear to have them.

So before I lose this colony, how do I get rid of these suckers?

Yeah, that is zoa pox.

Treat by doing 15-20 minutes Furan2 dips and TropicMarin Pro Coral Cure 15-20 minutes everyday once a day.

^^^ you will still lose some but it will help save them. Be careful might have spreaded to other zoas.

Unforunately none of my LFS have these in stock, so I am having them shipped overnight to start treatment tomorrow. I will post pics of the progress.

Thanks for the help guys.

Did you have any luck? I just got it on one of my colonies. My problem is that They are on a huge rock that I cannot take out of the tank. Can you dose the tank with Furan2?

it's best to just have to take the rock out. you dont want to risk killing anything else.

I got rid of it by placing the zoas in a medium flow and leaving them alone. That and a great water quality will cure them.

+1. high flow and high light.

The Furan-2 dip worked great, its almost completely gone.
