My zoanthid colony closed up.. turns outs there's stinking white fungus growing on it. I've cleaned and used revive just to see if it'll do anything, but very lil of the colony has reopened. Anything else I can do? is there a medication that I can use with a separate QT system to effectively rid the fungus..

Got a pic it is probably a sponge and they are aggravating to get rid of. Try some peroxide and tank water.

Use furan 2. Take one cup of tank water and pour one packet of furan 2 into the cup. Dip the infected zoa in this solution for 15-20 minutes. Do this for 3 consecutive days and then let the colony rest for 4-7 days. Repeat the process if needed. And if possible place the zoa in an area of high flow. I have used this treatment with great success.

+1 the only thing I do different is I rinse them in tab water to remove as much of the fungus before dipping in Furan.
