Zoa Pox?

[Chayo]

Just got these zoas I noticed these yellow eggs during dipping. I was able to scrape and blow off most of them during dipping. Thought I had gotten them all but found some more of these at night when the zoas are closed. Should I be concerned?

Any idea what it is? @Jeffcb

Dip will not do anything to eggs. I would continue to scrape them off and do inspect at night if possible for possible nudibranch, zoa spider or similar. Typical pests are :

Nudi's are tiny. Your looking for this:

And their eggs:

its the pox...(lower 2 polyps have it)I can say from experience the polyps that have them will eventually get more and will spread throughout the colony, polyps affected won't open etc.
Zoas are more susceptible than the larger palythoas. Once spotted I start treating using a light solution of API Furan-2 ..do a dip daily for three days consecutively, (each dip about 20min each) use turkey baster to blow debris, hope that helps ..

Okay thanks I thought so when I went on a google quest. Wasn’t sure since the Zoas don’t seem to be bothered, polyps open nice. But I’ll do the dip thanks
