Zoa pox?

[Un5tab1e]

These are my first corals. The fire and ice that came in my order look healthy and have been fully opened for a couple days. These have been in the tank since Friday and have yet to fully open. I've noticed one polyp has a white spot and greenish tint. Any ideas?

I'd say that is: take it out. Scratch/pop the white pocket, freshwater clean and put her back in. Good to go. That's what I do. Happens in low flow apparently as one problem

You pop the pox marks?

I scratched everything clean. The outside looks a lot better but, they still haven't fully opened

The only thing I have ever heard of getting rid of POX successfully is Furan-2 Dips.

I don't think it was pox. It was only on 2 polyps and what appeared to be green algae seeped out during the dips.

But have the spots gone away? Algae can be from low flow and phosphates to me. From my experience.

Yes. Spots are gone and all polyps are open. Algea came on them.
