ZoaPox

[Behrmon]

Dang it!!! Don't know how but....



I'm assuming ZoaPox here, I did a dip w. Iodine about a week ago with no real change. Anyone use the Furan-2 method with success?

Those aren't zoapox. They are some kind of anemone.

You sure Peter?

"enhanced":

 

[pvh]

They don't appear to be on the actual polyps right? If you look carefully are the white spots collected by tentacles?

 

[Behrmon]

Upon closer inspection I think you sir are correct.

 

[pvh]

Glad I could help. Not sure if they would do any damage to the zoas tho. Good luck.

 

[Behrmon]

Thanks Peter!! Don't know if I'm better or worse off but I know basically what I'm dealing with.

Since the polyps are all closed, maybe squirting a crapload of Joe's Juice in between them. It might kill off the invaders......

Just a thought

 

[coralcor]

those are ball anemones..... pita!

 

[SharkLover]

what about these?

 

[JeremyR]

Usually those grow on the undersides of things since they are non-photosynthetic. I find them to be harmless.

+1 on ball anemone, they do sting fish and corals they dont like light and feed mostly at night.

Might try it in a week or 2 if things stay as they are.

Those are poorly drawn circles, mine are much better!

They look the same to me.

those things suck

they are an anemone they irritate corals & zoas as well....hit them with JJ when they are open...they will melt away...you have to get it in their belly...you can also scrape them off but they usually go inside the rock if it is pourus... digging at them with a small screwdriver directly into the hole they retreat to will munch them up too....

they usually are not a serious issue...

I've seen people who have had them in their system for years & they never multiplied? but I guess that can vary from system to system...
(like we all are aware of)
GL Kevin...it's not like you have a big tank!!
