i have about 6 different types of zoos in my tank. one of them hasn't opened in about 1 week and another one looks like 2 polyps are hanging by there mat almost off the rock. the rest of them look good and are growing. there are also some white marks on one of them as you can see in the picture. any ideas what could be causing this? im going to check phos and alk tomorrow. cal 420, trates 0, ph8.2. everything else is thriving. any ideas

i read that if you recently added carbon, this could cause zoopox. i added chemipure right around the time this happened. should i remove the chemi pure?
most importantly, should i remove the rock and if i dont will it spread?

i moved him to a qt tank that i set up yesterday. it has a biowheel filter that i had running on another tank in case i needed to set up a qt tank real quick. the tank shouldnt cycle right? its a 20 gallon...so back to will it spread to my other corals? should i stop running the chemi pure on my tank? and what else should i do fix this?

i just found a white with a little bit of brown Asterina starfish on the zoo. im not sure that it was eating it really but it was on the rock, could this be a culprit? i still think it is zoopox though because it is white dots and the ones that look really bad are yellowing brown

im going to get furan-2 today. even though i removed this coral from my tank, did it infect my other zoas? AND how long can a zoo go with out light? it is in my qt and i dont have a good light on it, just a flor.
thanks again
