We transferred our zoas over to our cycled 40 breeder two nights ago. Tonight we noticed that one frag looks as though it's encased in bubbles and we're unsure what to do. Equipment wise, we have a Penn Plax canister filter running Matrix, 2 AI Prime HD lights, and a Gyre Icecap 1K. Our parameters are as follows:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrites: 0
Nitrates: 10
Alkalinity: 10.5 dKH
Calcium: 415
Phosphates: 0
Magnesium: 1300
Temp: 78F
Specific Gravity: 1.025
Ph: 7.9

Before adding them to the tank, we dipped them using Coral Rx and also did a hydrogen peroxide dip.

I'm starting to think that is what is going on. Got some better pics that I'll upload and hopefully someone can confirm. Thanks for the tip on what to look for!

Sorry.... I was reading this post via my phone and they looked like air bubbles. Now seeing them on my PC display....
