I am having fits with my zoas right now. I have searched for hours and can't find anything that fits what is going here. It seems to affect my AOG, hobgobblins, and eagle eyes the worst but all have seen some of this stigma. They are puckering up super tight and the a small "cap" forms over the top. This cap looks like a scab, sand to slightly browner in color. They stay this way for about 3 weeks until they finally open again but they have lost all their color at this point. It seems to roam around the tank but never affects whole colonies at the same time. just 12-24 polyps at a time. I have recently noticed tonight on some of them their little tiny black specks all over them. they don't seem to move but are about the size of a grain of sand, perhaps a little smaller. What on earth is this crap and what do I do to fix it. My biggest problem is that most of them are grown to my rock work and are not removable from the tank for a furan2 treatment. The few that I can remove will be treated with furan 2 but until it arrives I am SOL. I have been told to perhaps look into a treatment of Melafix on the DT to try to treat it but that is all I can come up with. PLEASE HELP before I lose them.
