So in your professional opinion, the stuff works?

Haha professional yes I'm very pleased I just took a toothbrush to all my zoa frags Ill update with more pics tomorrow anything that was hanging on fell right off. On a side note I found 4-5 thick string like algaes I could not identify, they were a bit round on the point after pulling on one it burst fml!! Some type of bubble algae I'm guessing the rest of them were cut right off outta tank hoping for the best.

I think those bubble algae things are related to bryopsis, I could watch them wither away after a Fluc treatment. They took longer to die off than the ferns, actually may still have a few left as well.

Keep it up, looks great!

Thanks Bryant hoping there all gone at this point fluconazole is still in tank tell Thursday night also. I think I could do a water change at this point but it's not hurting anything so I'll continue. Took a few pics today unfortunately the la laker zoas I've had in most pics are still closed up from me brushing last night I'll get a final pic of them on Thursday.

Colour is coming back fast now so excited !!!

I'm not even sure what these are worm with a fan I'm guessing but regardless of what they are there not helping this piece grow. Time to manually remove them. By the way I dipped these pretty good with no results kinda looks like they can seal there opening.

When outta water they look like this it's the white area circled I basically got a sharp pin and dug the area out, it's a open void once thru skin from there I removed the bug.

Some funky little bugs hiding in the polyps. Did you only notice them when taking the photos?

No I saw them right away but I've just left them in the past I actually have a frag I bought about 2 years ago with them and it's only ever encrusted I'm guessing from these little guys irritating the top of frag. Anyways both were dealt with yesterday.

Crazy! good share though as I have never saw these before.
