Zoa pox ? Or what is this ? And how to treat

[Zoa_Fanatic]

I wasn’t aure how. I tried dips and nothing worked. Only my UV sterlizer saved what I have left

I started to believe it’s bacterial as you mentioned too . Did you treat it ?

now that furan 2 is not available I don't know how to fix the pox issue , I'm reducing the amount of zoas in my tank

Iodine diluted may be your next options. Main ingredient for furan is nitrofurazone if you can find that.
Have you tried Chewy and Ebay for Furan-2? About a month ago, Furan was still available from them

You'd posted this on another thread recently. On ebay one person is selling a bottle for $40, another for $400 for 850grams, neither of those are viable options. A google search brings back extremely limited items. Time being of the essence Lugol's is the right solution here.

@zoaprince yup, I was going to mention that in my original post but decided not to.

@mdb_talon we can disagree on that point. I'm also not a fan or Coral Rx after using it in my regiment for a few months but I know other folks that swear by it. Many ways to skin the proverbial cat. I would, however, give @MohamedF an idea of the concentration they should aim for (unless I missed it). I think we can both agree that a proper diagnosis and actually being able to get the materials (and in a timely fashion), whatever treatment path they choose, is key.

Ok . Thanks a lot for your detailed help and description , it’s a bit hard to import online chemicals in my country .. unfortunately.. but I will try to find it as soon as possible .. otherwise I will try to find local similar ingredient medicine .

You might be able to try a pharmacy. Lugol's iodine is widely available.

These look like people eaters which have those white marks when closed up. Some algae growing on top of them.

Do you disagree? @littlebigreef

Smart notice .. they are green people eaters .. I have one that is already in my tank on a second frag .. how did you noticed them while they are closed !!!

Good day everyone , I got those few days ago, I didn’t dip them “ last time ever “ .. and since then they didn’t open and are like that .. is that zoa pox ? And how to treat them without medicine like furan ? Will dipping in hydrogen peroxide work ? Thanks .

NOT pox. That is the normal coloration of this paly when closed. What they need is an iodine dip as you can see the fuzziness around them. I like to use lugals and add enough till tea colored and then dip for 10 min.

I tried to dip in iodine . But I believe it didn’t work out . Maybe it was too soft for the bacteria . Later after two days I did another dip and waiting it’s results , I removed them from their frags and put them
In new one splitter them
In two groups , one I dipped in HP and the other iodine .. will keep posting results here after few days .

Unfortunately they didn’t make it .. probably it was late phase already..
