Help! White stuff on closed up zoas

[Capitol Reef Corals]

Hey guys,

After coming back from a two week vacation, I noticed some of my zoas have been closed up. Upon further inspection I noticed that the closed up heads have white stuff near their mouths. I do not believe this to be zoa pox as it is not as the sides and is only on a few zoas in some colonies, but it could be as I am not very familiar with identifying zoa pox.

Anyone have an ID on this and know how to cure this before my zoas die? So far I already lost my colony of Emperor V2s and two speckled krak frags. It has so far affected my hallucinations, rainbow mauls, darth mauls, jf acid refulx, and one other.

I already bought Furan 2 and plan to do some dips with that. If anyone has any ideas please let me know!

Attached is a pic that shows the white stuff on their mouths and me trying to scrap it off to the side.

Thanks!
Stephen

Seeing that it has affected other colonies zoa pox fits. I've never personally had to deal with it though. I'd start treating soon, keep us posted @Stephen Petruzzo, sorry for the issues.

I Agree with DSC Reef. Start the furan dip promptly either way it should help if it's a fungus

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll definitely follow the zoa pox treatment steps. It couldn't hurt even if it isn't zoa pox. I'll keep everyone updated as I go
