Tell me if you think there is even one zoo here that looks like it will live. I have to squirt them to keep white slime from covering them.
Thanks

Looks like my zoos as they were wiped out by zoo fungus. You might consider puting them in QT, if you have one. Good luck.
 
Sorry friend..those look bad. I'd isolate them from the rest of your tank or just toss them.
 
A couple of polyps in the first picture look ok. I would either cut them off and glue to a different rock or cut all the others off. Maybe even try to get three or so decent polyps and put them in different areas, even different tanks if you can. If you can get one polyp to live it will be worth it. Last summer I ordered some zoas online that got very hot during shipping. They looked about as bad as yours and didnt open for about a month, but now a year later the colony is thriving and has grown quite well.
 
Thanks all

They are in a QT tank, everything that I get in goes there for the first few weeks. I am going to give them till tomorow to rest and then frag that big piece and see if the zoos in the center can make it. The other corals in that shipment were just fine including other zoos. I just knew these would be bad from the color of the water and then the smell was super nasty when I opened it.
 
I'd hold them over the flow of a massive powerhead and blow off the fungus and the dead polyps for a few minutes, after that whatever's left over has a better chance
