Hi all, I'm new to MASC, but I've been reefing for about a year, so I'm not sure if I'm a newbie or not.
I've got an issue with my zoas that I'm hoping you guys might be able to help me with. I'm seeing some tiny white pin-sized dots on them, and they're not opening. I've looked at pics online, thinking maybe they had zoa pox, but it doesn't look like that to me because I can wipe them off easily. If they were under the skin, I shouldn't be able to do that, right?
The tank they're in is a 150gal mixed reef (plus a 75 gal fuge) with both LEDs and MH lights. My water parameters are near-perfect (amm/ni/na at 0, ph steady at 8.2, temp steady at 80, ca at 400, alk at 10). I have an auto topoff, so salinity stays steady at 1.026, too. I test and dose ca and alk regularly (every day, every other day). I also dose vodka every day.
Ideas, anyone? What do I do? I don't want these zoas to die, because they weren't cheap, and I don't want my other corals to get 'infected'.
