Is this zoa done for?

I had sundial snails destroy a beautiful zoa colony. I crushed the snails with forceps. Once I got rid of them it took 8 months but the colony started bouncing back. Never give up on a zoa!
 
Search sundial snails.
I've had them, you defo don't want them.
I've been reading more and more about these dang predators. It's like treating human head lice, you can't give up!
 
I would also take them out and dip them and get an artists brush and give them a gentle but thorough clean. Use a turkey baster or large pipette to blow dip water into all the crevices in the rock.
What is your flow like, cyano also likes lower flow?

I use a child's super soft toothbrush. I've also got a 14 inch long glass pipette to blast critters from under the polyp.
 
Since we're talking snails what r these baby's.
