I was looking in my tank this morning and I noticed something a little fuzzy and out of place on one of my zoas. Can someone please tell me what this is. And if its reef safe? Thanks

Clusters of white eggs. Look at the sides of what zoas/paly you have

If you can pull the colonies I would dip them separately. I've been using the Bayer Advanced lately. Try it. There is a thread somewhere. 10mls of bayer to 4 oz of tank water. 5 minutes or so.
 
If you dont want to dip buy a wrasse. Yellow corris or six line. They will clean them up

I don't trust a wrasse to take care of zoa eating nudis they are too proficient, stealth and hide from the wrasses. If order to beat them you need to dip them once a week for 3 weeks to break the egg cycle

Same here. I love my yellow Corris but he didn't completely finish the job. Stay on top of any infestations. Can't really kill the eggs with just dip.
