Yep.

It appears to be killing the zoo polyps immediatly surrounding it. Worried about what would happen to them with treatment.

Zoo's aren't harmed by treatment. Just feed the aiptasia directly.

What Deb said, plus you might have better results with ALL pumps off (at least I did)... easier to get a direct hit, and you lose less.

As a bit of a zookeeper, I would frag the zoos. Even a few polyps will grow into a colony in a few months. I would then discard the rock.

The zoo colony is only a frag to begin with so it may be difficult to seperate the polyps.

What type of treatment have people had experience with that has worked?
