Are my zoos still a lost cause? HELP!!!

[Xandernfs]

Ok, so my zoos still have not yet come out and algae is growing on them. And now my other zoos have something on them!

What is it?

How do i get rid of it?

 

[clayspst]

they will just fall off the rock on there own

 

[edwing206]

it looks like algae. gently scrub it off with a tooth brush. make sure you don't squish them.

Pull the colony out and smell it. If it smells rancid (you'll know!) you're having die off from something.

To be honest, it looks like the early stages of Zoa Pox when I had it.

I think i would dip them

What if i can't find of Lugol's iodine solution.....Will any other iodine solution work?

 

[albie611]

iodine dip for ten minutes, and then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush. place back in tank with stronger flow to prevent algea from comming back.......gl.........al

Ditched the ones in the first pic (gettin new ones) and did a dip on my other ones. Here they are and my peppemint is helpin out too

 

[albie611]

what did you do with the ones in the first pic.
did you send them back or toss them out.......
zoa's are tempermental but will usualy recover from stress or irritants......i have seen colonies wither down to a few polyps and with some t.l.c. the came back and spread across the rock again.
