Zoa pest of some sort on all 3 of my small "colonies"

[Chuck H.]

Little white specks on my zoas. All 3 "colonies" are closed for the most part. The one in the pic has been stressed the longest because for the first few days, I couldn't see the white specks. I've heard of vermatid snails, but I'm not sure that's what I have. Any ideas? Sorry for the blurry pic, my macro skills are lacking.

Another pic..

Here's another pic, you can see the other "colony" above the one in the first pic. Very small polyps, mainly closed:

And here's the other colony, next to my cap frag:

They all have the white specks...and they all look bad (closed and shrinking). How do I treat them?

Here's a FTS:

Thanks for the link 650-IS350! I'll get some FuranII after work tomorrow and give it a shot.

just treat in separate bucket. Substitute saltwater for RODI, by using some of your old tank water, it also gives you an excuse to do a water change as well.

Saltwater won't stress the polyps like RODI would. IMO.

It does seem to work, I had a few colonies with the pox. Did the multiple treatments and they are doing well.

My 3 little colonies on their first dip:

After a 20 minute dip, I rinsed them in a cup of aquarium water and put them back in the tank:
