Zoa POX - Are you supposed to "Scrape off" the POX while using Furan-2?

I ask because it came up in a conversation today.

When I had it before I did the 3 Day in a row Furan-2 Dip and all the Zoanthids were Cured except one plug which I did a Second 3 Day Round of Dips for and then it was Cured too.

But someone said just "Scrape off the White Spots and they will never come back"

I figured that this would be Stressful on the Zoanthids though?

Do you guys Scrape the off?

If so how do you do it?

Should you do one or the other (Furan-2 / Scraping off the POX)?

Or should you do both for best results?

No blade just toothbrush or fingers. I've only gotten pox on new frags a few times.

So did the new frags come already with POX?

Or did they get POX after say a few days? Maybe from the stress of the move from one persons tank to anothers?

I am just trying to understand POX the best I can to prevent it in the future.

Do you do Furan-2 Dips?
