How much damage can a carpet do to Zoas?

[fantastic4]

My prized zoas are all over my tank, if my carpet touched them, are they gonners for sure?

What has been your experience with zoas and anemones?

Thanks

I just read over on wet-web that zoas would win in a battle with a BTA. Not sure about a catpet.

The carpet won't kill the zoas right away, but it will over a week or so.
If you remove the carpet from the area, the zoas will usually bounce back.
