White spots on Zoas

[mhampton27]

One of my zoas I noticed has some white spots on them they look like salt I've been watching to see if they get sick but they arent acting weird. They open and they close, but I did have a nudi branch in my tank about 2 weeks ago when I noticed the spots. Does anyone know what this might b?

a pic would helpa s it could be a couple things....

could be Zoa pox..

could be your Zoos are actually Paly's

could be you have some white crap stuck to you zoos...

they r tubs blues and its been bout 3 weeks and they arent dying so i dont think its zoa pox. Maybe something is settling on them.

If they are Tubs Blues zoanthids, then there really shouldn't be anything growing on them. Try taking a small baster or pipette and blowing some water over them to see if whatever is on them comes off. If they don't I would imagine they're zoa pox. Then again they could be nudibranch eggs also. A picture would definitely help.

I did that before and it was gone but it came back

I agree with everyone above. Hate to beat a dead horse, but a picture would speak volumes. I really need to get a camera myself, LOL.
