Is this something to worry about?
I got a few polyps yesterday and noticed two white spots underneath the flesh and am worried they are something bad. These are my first Zoas so really want to keep them alive. I should also mention that yesterday you could hardly see the white spots but now you can easily see them.
Thanks Here's a picture of the Zoa today I'm worried about. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4346/3...65828e41_o.jpg Last edited by EthanHawaii; 09/02/2017 at 05:36 PM. |

Possibly new babies? Any flatworms wondering around?

Or could have been pinched by hermits or shrimp.

To my horror I saw my first flatwarm in my Goby's hole!! But I have a Wrasse that would take care of any flatwarms in the open so I don't think that would be an issue. I saw a hermit on top of the colony the day I got the polyps so that could be the issue. Is it odd that it hasn't opened today?
Thanks for the reply, Ethan |

Possibly Zoapox. It comes typically as the seasons change and temps dip.
Check this article out to read about the causes and remedies. http://zoaid.org/zoapox-zoa-pox-the-...ause-and-cure/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But I think whatever it is is taking over the Zoas and I don't think I will be able to bring them back. |

Until they dosed the Furan-2. The comeback is pretty quick. It's up to you, but can you post more pics?

I would consider doing the Furan-2 in a container outside of your reef.
Or, you can dose the tank. The article gives you the procedure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
