Bright white fungus on zoas!

[Pola0502ds]

So i just noticed what appears to be a white fungus on some on my zoas. The pics are bad but does anyone know what this is and how to handle it. I tried to blow it off and when i did a few heads came right off.

How fast is it growing?

Looks like sponge growth.

Where these image when the lights came on, is there another reason the zoanthids are closed.

 

[Pola0502ds]

They are closed because i moved them for the shot. It was not there yesterday and when i posted this message is when i found it. Def not a sponge

Lights had been on since 10am

@joshporksandwic have you ever experienced this or similar?

Just try to scape it off

Just try to scape it off

It blew right off and took some polyps with it so its killing them. Im looking for some help here. To try to identify it, stop the spreading of it, and figure out what i can do to save the ones that have it. Any dips i should do?

 

[joshporksandwich]

Cut the dying off. Try dipping in furan 2 for 15 minutes

What about hydrogen peroxide?

What about hydrogen peroxide?

It won't do much for a bacteria infection but try it. As long as the fungus is gone you should be ok

I would try hydrogen peroxide and maybe even use a soft bristle toothbrush.

Just don't ever use that toothbrush

Go to the dollar store. The toothbrushes are crappy amd soft lol

Has anyone seen a white thick fungus before?

I've seen white spongey stuff that kind of over grows zoas at the store. I have sprayed that down with hydrogen peroxide and it seems to do it good.
