sorry for the short response previously.
rather than provide you with numerous cures right off the bat you should search around to find out what zoapox is and how to treat it. it can ultimately decimate a colony. pox can and will spread to other colonies in the tank. there are numerous dips/treatments so search and pick your poison.
I would provide you with links but the search isn't working for me nor do i want to lead you in one direction...so search around, read and treat.

Here is a link to zoapox on zoaid.com. http://zoaid.com/articles004.php

For anyone who has used Furan-2, can you make up a container of it and dip all of your zoa colonies at one time? Then you just dip them in tank water and return to the tank and repeat that for two more days? The above referenced link says to use one cup of RO/DI water for one pellet, is it still as effective if you use maybe 3 cups per pellet? Should I dip all of my zoas even if they aren't showing any zoapox yet? (Some are in the beginning stages, some don't have it at all.)
I just went through this with some of my colonies. The Furan-2 worked great. I half filled a 1 gallon ziplock bag when I did my dips. I would fit as many colonies as I could into the bag. I did the treatments for 3 days and they look great. Most were opening after the second treatments. I followed all the instructions from zoaid.com

Thanks prolx, that sounds easy enough! So you filled the bag with RO/DI water with the pH and temp matching the tank? Then added the one tablet of Furan-2, let it dissolve completely and added the zoas?
Finally, something easy & cheap to fix a problem in my tank!

Yes I did fill the bag with RO/DI water and set it in my sump to bring it up to temp then added one of the Furan-2. what I did to help it dissolve was shake the bag up considering it was a strong ziplock bag. That helped alot. I dipped mine for like 20 minutes and then rinsed with tank water. Good Luck !
