Zoa Disease ID

2 of my sunny D zoa colonies are not opening up for about 2 weeks now. I have dipped them in furan 2 on and off but they are not improving.

I took some close up photos and it seem like there some algea or string attach to some white spot on the body. Let me know what you guys think or experience this before and possible treatment.

Possibly a case of Zoa Pox

all last week I thought these are zoapox which i dipped with furan 2 however today when i use my phone camera to zoom in they more like algea. When I compare to zoapox picture on google, zoapox spot seem to be bigger and more solid but these look like fine algea. You can see it more clear on the zoa on the left hand side of the third picture I posted.

Are you able to blast it off with a turkey baster or syringe?

I blasted them using my feeding syringe when I dipped them with furan 2 last week but didnt notice the actual string algea like until today when i turn on the light bright and take close up photos. I tried furan 2 and chemiclean dip with no luck. what do you think about hydrogen peroxide dip?

Not familiar with it unfortunately
Let's see if anyone in the #reefsquad has any ideas

KJ beat me to the punch as that who I would have tagged as well. Judging by the first picture, I would have guessed zoa pox as well. But the subsequent pictures and comments throw it outside my realm.

I upload a youtube video hopefully this can be better. Thank you all for your help.

I'm not sure it's a disease. I would recommend a dip in peroxide. I'd look up different strengths to dip in and go from there. I have dipped in full strength 3% peroxide for about 30 seconds with no bad effects.

I did the dip and now everything is back to normal within 24 hrs. Just some bad algae I guess. Thank you all for your help.
