Film on zoas?

[epicfish]

I have a few frags of some zoas. I had them in a QT tank (3g) and the pump got clogged and the timer on the lights stopped. I was away for the past few days, so there hasn't been much circulation and the SG is pretty high.

Needless to say, they're all closed up and pretty mad.

Some of the polyps have hard, white speckles on them. I've seen pictures of zoa pox and it doesn't really look like it because the speckles are growing ON the zoas, not as part of the flesh. There was also a film, but I used a powerhead to blow most of it off.

Here are the best pictures I could get...let me know if you need more. The water is a little yellow since they're in a povidone dip right now.

What can I do now? Are they goners?

Thanks.

the hard white speckles are probably supposed to be there. are , they similar to nukes or PD's?

IME that condition is caused by temperature and salinity swings. I've seen it happen before. As for what to do to help them? not a clue, i wasnt able to save this one colony of pink zoos i had that did that but then again, i did not have the means to. If you really want to give them the best shot, get them into a stable environment.

The bigger piece is nuclear greens. The smaller is palythoa grandis.
