dsoz Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Do you have any fish that would pick at them? I have a pigmy angel that picks at my SPS and they keep closed polyps most of the time. So does my neon green leather. Try a freshwater dip, or an iodine dip. If there is a pest in there, that should help. BTW. It sometimes takes more than 6 hours for people to check all the threads. Patience is a virture. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twogirls Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Yup give them a freshwater dip. After you do that they will be mad for a little while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidalsculpin Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 You may have zoa pox. Read this article. It includes treatment with Furan -2. I will be treating some unhappy zoas with this treatment. http://www.zoaid.com/articles004.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 If you dont have zoa pox than I would try a Topic Marin Pro Coral sure dip routine for a few days. I noticed results after the first dip but some may take longer than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty419 Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Looks like zoa pox thanks for the help ill let you know how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 You can try Furan2 dips to rid the pox followed by Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure. That should do the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
