Zoa disease part 3


It's been about a month since I last updated... everything in the tank has matured but more importantly, the colors of my Armageddons are now coming back! I can't say I've successfully treated this disease because I honestly haven't really done anything to this colony other than fragging away some of the healthier polyps prior to the disease taking over completely. In the picture above, you can actually see one polyp in the lower right that was not infected originally.

Anyway, it's good to know that DNA is working and that this didn't morph into some dull looking brown polyps. These should recover completely in about another month.

Zoa disease?


Not sure what this is... but over the last couple of days, my Armageddon zoas started closing up, thinning its stalks and look like it's throwing up or something. It started with a couple of polyps and proceeded to turn the whole group like it.

I fragged a few healthy polyps out but I'm not sure if the rest are doomed or if it's something they will get over. Right now only two other small colonies in the tank seem irritated but everythig else is opening fine and there doesn't appear to be any nudibranches or other stuff eating it.

Have any of you seen anything like this?
