what do you do if the zoa's are on a large piece of rock that you cannot dip or remove from the tank.  How would you treat them then]]> Tue, 16 Oct 2012 18:14:38 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58944&PID=489775&title=sick-polys#489775 <![CDATA[SICK POLYS!!!! : so my question is, will a harlequin...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58944&PID=487045&title=sick-polys#487045 Author: rwgoose

I would go with Melissa on this one.  The first thing I noticed in your photo was the Asterina starfish.  I know it attached after they were sick but in my experience, it seems they are hard to spot and can attach when the lights are out.  I have had them wipe out lots of zoas before.  If your parameters are all in check as far as Salinity, Calcium, Mag, and Alk, I would definitely get a harlequin to take care of the stars.  After I got my harlequin who did an excellent job on the Asterinas, my zoas opened up great.  I would also recommend taking some more pics even at night to see if there is anything else that might be munching...

I would do a Furan 2 dip. Just make sure to rinse with fresh saltwater before placing zoas back in main tank, as Furan 2 is NOT reef safe. ]]> Sun, 23 Sep 2012 23:40:51 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58944&PID=486546&title=sick-polys#486546 <![CDATA[SICK POLYS!!!! : ok.. so that first sick group,...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58944&PID=486533&title=sick-polys#486533 Author: rwgoose

Hey rwgoose did you post your parameters or did I just miss them. My first thought would be low alk or other levels. Check params and dip as said.]]> Sun, 23 Sep 2012 20:47:19 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58944&PID=486531&title=sick-polys#486531
