Is this zoa pox?

nope. i believe that just natural paly growth is it not?

From what I can see those paly's with the speckled white on them look to be purple deaths and that's natural for them to have the white speckles on the stalks. The ones without the speckling are a diff kind of zoa. Hope that helps

Sand grains on them.

+1, sediment or sand. If that were an outbreak of Z. Pox they'd be dead by now. Would be the most severe case I have ever seen.

protpalythoa takes sand to its' stalk as a form of defense. it's normal.

Let's keep it going Charles.

Sand and sediment also serve to strenghten the stem of these Proto Palythoas.

Almost dipped my zoos because of this the other day. What's odd is that a few of my other zoos weren't doing too well and a few had died off. Unknown reasons but I doubt it was due to zoo pox.
