Zoas pox !

juanmanuelsanchez · Sep 12, 2017

So ! One of the frag I purchased has zoas pox. I have been treating for a while and lost many polyps in the way. The surviving ones still have the white spots.

Currently treating with the furan 2 treatment.

So my question is... IF the pox dosent go away, do I have to throw out the frag. Or can I just place it in a separate part of the tank away from the other zoas colonies to avoid contamination? Does it propagate by "touch", water column, etc?

Thanks for the help !

Yes. It's a fungal infection so it can spread.

The only known treatment is furan 2 right?

So after two rounds of treatment I think I still have pox. I'm about to throw away the piece because I don't want the rest of the tank to be infected. Here are some pictures so you can tell me.

Thanks
