Are my zoas infected?

[AquaJunkie]

Got them 2 days ago.

I got a small piece and a piece about the size of a baseball and placed them in different spots in the tank.

Acclimated them ok and left them the night with my led lights off.

Next morning every single head on the larger piece has opened fully and looking well. (For now)

About 3-5 on the smaller piece has NOT opened and looks like it has white bacteria looking material on it.

My question is... What is this white stuff that looks like it's covering some of my zoas and will this end up spreading if I leave it.


Larger piece...

Smaller infected piece....

that piece is rotting. if you pull it out, it should smell as well...treat with iodine or furan 2.

Don't have iodine atm.
Will it spread to my other piece?
Or cover the rest of the zoas on the small piece?
Thanks

Ya, it could spread to the rest of the colony. I would dip the infected zoa colony in an iodine dip like Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure to help stop the spread of fungus/infection.
