Is this Zoa Pox? Picture attached!

You can also pluck that one polyp out and get rid of it... better lose one polyp and save the rest which would grow new polyps anyways.

Yah thats good advice. If i see 1 polyp that has a white spot, i cut it out with a razor blade.

It looks like all the pox is gone and everyone of my zoas have recovered. I'm afraid one of my initial problems was amphipods eating them so I will keep them all in their new frag tank until I get a Six-Line Wrasse through quarantine and get it in my show tank. Once it gets most of the monster pods taken care of I'll start reintroducing the zoas.

YEah , I TOO hate Ampipods.. little bastards demolished several colonies of prized zoos... not anymore, I've since turned my tank to a wrasse tank... filled with ( Blue sided, mystery, esquisite, carpenter, red and another I cant remember wrasses ).. they constantly patrol my tank and basically devour anything.. be it a pod, tiny crustecean, nudi or what ever .... best thing I've done for my tank.....

I also had a pipe fish patrolling my 20QT till he got sucked up in my PH when I was cleaning the foam guard.

ok i got the stuff....pulled everythingout of my tank and treated just the zoas and now everything looks like hell. this was about a day and a half ago. I know your supposed to treat them a few times but theres no way im doin it again. I dont think that my tank could handle it. I have 20 lbs of crap in a 5 lb bag with my tank. Has anyone heard of an in tank treatment yet?

I was skeptical as well, but did the treatment three days in a row and it cured mine within a week. There were a lot of guys before me that figured out how to treat this and I'm sure glad they did. How did you treat yours?

 

[650-IS350]

I don't treat the tank... I get a 5gallon bucket and treat them there... once done I dip them in a separate bucket with tank water to was them off the meds... then place them in a QT or something without ampipods that might try to munch of them while they're in a weak stage..

treating the tank can kill other inverts that you actually want in your tank.

What do you do about zoa's on large rocks you can't get out? I have an infestion in 3 colonies.

1) Is on a rock that takes up 1/4 of the tank,it also has xenia on it.
2) Is a rock that has 2 healthy zoa colonies.
3) 1 colony (that I might be able to can break off it is on w/ epoxy) has a Birdsnest and paly colony.

If I leave the first one in will it re-infect the tank?

I had some in the left side of tank infect others on the right side.... I break off colonies on big rocks.. I get a trusty chisel.
