Zoa Pox Regimen help

[bruinhd]

Hi guys. I got some zoa frags recently in succession. I had a frag with some purple monster zoas that began losing purple color after it got stung by my elegance coral unfortunately. I moved it to a low light near the sandbed, and low flow, which I realize was a mistake. I think the low flow was an opportunity for disease to take over.

 

3 days ago most of its heads appeared closed, and a translucent brown jelly appeared over the closed heads. I freaked out and removed it. I brushed it off and cleaned it and put it back in the tank under high flow. Most of the heads slightly opened, two of them fully opened, but then today again it closed and brown goo was slightly seeping out of one of the heads. Then I looked at another frag that had been 5 or so inches away and it had closed and had brown goo on it as well. So whatever this was, it is now spreading to other zoas. I read a lot and I'm not 100% positive if this is just brown diatoms growing on it, or truly zoa pox.

 

So I took all 3 zoa frags and did a 15 minute Furan-2 dip with the following conditions:

- 1 packet of Furan-2 in 1/2 gallon of tank water

- high flow with turkey baster blasting intermittently

- Rinsed and then placed in 1 gallon QT tank

 

Yes, I forgot to take pictures. And you all will hate me on this forum because that is the #1 rule. I will reassess tomorrow morning and make sure to take pictures if I can for you.

 

Questions:

- Has anyone found a good regimen for treatment of Zoa pox, if in fact that is what this is? I have heard repeated dips, as frequent as Q12 hours might help?

- Should I prophylactically dip other zoas that don't appear affected currently? I don't want to stress them if unecessary

- Yes, I do dip all corals in Coral Rx before they go in my display tank

 

Thank you everyone.
