I was running out of room on my sand bed and built a magnetic frag rack to get some off the sand bed. I have about 4-5 frags on the rack and 1 frag of zoas had a lot of white spots on them and started to look bad. I noticed when I was moving these guy they had sand buried in the frag and I removed all the sand I could. Well after a few days of good flow and not being covered in sand I noticed less white spots and they are opening more. Did I just get lucky or has this happened to people before? I have not read up on zoa pox and am not claiming this healed them. I just think its weird how the spots are going away. I will try to get some pics later tonight.

no I dont think so most like high flow and ive actauly cured zoa pox and fungus by moving to high flow so i think most like or need high flow to do well.

ive got some zoas in an extremely high flow area, too much flow for some sps, and they are some of the fastest growing zoas in my tank. i think we greatly underestimate the flow they can handle and indeed thrive under.

I am just shocked the white spots on my zoas are fading away. I don't know really if I have a lot of flow, my tank is a 54g corner. I have a Koralia 3 in the back corner, and a Koralia 1 on the front.

I had zoa pox on my tubs blue and i moved them to a higher flow and light and they are growing now. I thought the colony was a goner. They were dropping like flys in just a few days. I noticed zoo's like high flow and my palys like medium flow/high flow. Haven't experienced with my Grandis yet but it is now in medium flow.
