What are on my Zoos?

I have some zooes that have some cream colored dots on them, and there not opened up at all. What should I do, and what is it?

It looks like zoa pox.

That's what I was thinking....I have some FURAN-2, how would I use that to kill it, or is there another way I can kill it?

Thank you,

Joshua

Josh i would take your pics and post them in the zooanthid forum here on rc. There is a sticky up top in that forum i believe that covers disease and treatment. My advice would be to move them into much lower light while you decide what other actions to take, if any. Im not sure if it spreads so to speak or if its a result of tank conditions but other zoos might start showing signs. This is just my opinion but i would reduce their light and ride it out, furan and such seem to stress them to the point of death. Some people have had good luck using a vitamin c supplement in the tank. The vit c thread is also located in the zoo forum, you might have to go a few pages to find it i dont think its stickied.
