Furan-2

Procedure:

• place 1 capsule into the RO cup and mix it good until the RO water turns green. Put the zoa in the Furan mix and leave it for at least 15 min but not more than 30 min.
• After the treatment, wash the zoas in your tank water on the other cup you had put aside. Then put the zoas back in the tank where there is a stronger flow.

*Note: Your zoa will have a green dye to its body but it is fine. The green dye should fade away in a day or two.

Do 3 treatments in a row then let it rest for 4-7 days; depending on the condition of your Zoanthids. If the ZoaPox is still on the Zoanthids then continue with another three treatments. But make sure you let it rest 4-7 days after every 3 treatments.
Furan works best in higher heat. But I would not go over 82.
Do water changes 10 gal every 3 days. It helps healing time.

1st WEEK

• Day 1: 1st treatment started with 20 min dip
• Day 2: 2nd treatment started with 20 min dip
• Day 3: 3rd treatment started with 20 min dip

Let the colony rest for 1 week

*Note: If your Zoanthid has recovered and you still want to do another dip, please reduce the amount of dipping time when you do so. Also, you don't have to do another treatment if your Zoanthid is completely healed. I'm doing another treatment on mine just to make sure the ZoaPox is completely eradicated.

2nd WEEK

• Day 1: 4th treatment started with 10 min dip
• Day 2: 5th treatment started with 10 min dip
• Day 3: 6th treatment started with 10 min dip

Just a little more info...palys are supposed to have white spots on the outsides of them. That is normal for them.
Just want to be 100% sure you are trying to treat zoas and not palys.
Do you have a pic of yours?

Good Luck...i lost all my zoas to this cancer....and i went 1 year with no zoas in my tank....and this year i started too add zoas....green zoas seem to be the first to contract this cancer and melt the quickest....
