I have several zoa frag plugs glued to the rock in my tank. One colony has two or three white pimple looking spots on them. All have been in the tank for about a month or two. Most are looking stretched and tall. Parameters look good, and I am letting my nitrates raise a little as some have said they may be too low for the zoas. Usually stay from 0 to 5 ppm. I was thinking the spots on this one colony might be pox. If it is I was thinking of prying it off the rock and dipping in peroxide sw mix. I have some fluconzole but was thinking hp might be the way to go.

I don’t belive it is.
Most pox cases are like chicken pox.
Ya don’t get just one or two bumps.

Not sure if it is, pox when I had t was more predominant. That said, If it is pox, furan 2 is a really good way to treat it, worked for me and I didn’t lose a polyp

Do these still open up good? I don’t have experience with pox yet so I’m following.
None of my zoas have been opening much in the last few weeks. I have two paly polyps mixed in with one colony and they open fine.
