Hi guys.
TL;DR. Please look at my pictures to confirm whether or not I have zoa pox. Thanks!
Long version: I have 9 zoas that have been in quarantine since December 19. Over time I noticed the polyps weren't opening as much on two frags. On the 27th I found 2 aptasia on each of these frags which I promptly treated and haven't seen since. I don't think that was the main problem though. Now, at least a few polyps on each frag are staying closed all the time.
Tested parameters but found no issues. The only other problem is algae due to no clean up crew ATM.
I've been inspecting the frags closely every day, and haven't found anything to explain the closed polyps until yesterday.
I noticed new white spots. Some look like vermitid snails (but on zoa stalks?), but there are a few on the actual zoa polyps that look different. Based on pics I've seen online, I think the ones on the polyps are zoa pox. Can anyone confirm?
