What is all over my zoa's???

[lacosta28]

I have noticed this stuff on one of my zoa colonies lately. I still see new polyps that form but some of the bigger ones look like they have deteriorated. Does anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it? I have dipped them twice so far in seachem coral dip and that still hasn't got rid of it.

Looks like dino to me. Dip in 50/50 solution of hydrogen peroxide and tank water for 5 min. That sikhs clear it up. I would frag a few polyps just in case something goes wrong.

+1 sponge - you can see the siphons. scrape it away with a toothpick or any similarly pointy tool. make sure to work with the colony underwater to avoid getting squirted by them. bad things can happen...

if you need to ask what bad things, make sure to read this: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1858696

+1 to sponge.
Dinos are typically brown or rust colored and slimy.

Physical removal should do the trick.
