It's best to try and cut away the ones that have the fungus as if you leave them in the colony the will spread and kill the rest of the colony.

FW dip ,Lugols ,peroxide

Sorry for your loss, i know how you feel. I've lost many prized zoos in the past. Sometimes if you can detect the fungus and frag right away, the healthy ones have a better chance of surving. Also, FW dip, Lugols, Peroxide i find sometimes stresses the zoos out more causing them to dye.

I can hook you up with a frag of zoos to jump start your collection back again.

you no wat i think would be a great thing to do. everyone supply ronen ova hea with some frags of zoo's... ronen count me in if ya want some nice pink zoa's. there gettin way to crammed on that once piece of rock and growing good... let me no.

the only thing is i dont no how to cut em. lolz. i dont think i wanna try that yet.

 

[SlamaJama]

sorry ronen, i hope u get it under control..chk out the link that dean posted, i read thru it and it has some good tips, 1 for instance is multiple 15 min lugols dip several hrs apart...

great link dean, thxs

Ronen when something goes wrong with an acro and I don't know why, I usually get that piece into someone else's tank. 50% of the time I'm able to save corals this way.

You're welcome to dump some zoos in my tank for a while to see if it make a difference. I don't have any other zoos in my tank so i am not worried about the disease spreading...

Thx dean rich marrone ,tony ,slama,heuerfan
I have been reaing abou thtis and PM Mucho reef From RC.Here is his reply


"Hello, my apologies for the delayed response. If you have a moment, go to the top of the zoo forum and read the thread on the white leisons. I have pretty much detailed all that I can on this crazy thing that keeps happening. I am still working on it. It has happened to me a few times and no one knows what it is. I wish I could do more, just make sure you can get in there with some long nose tweezers if you can and remove them. Keep watching that thread, we will find a way to stop this sooner or later my friend.

Hang in there, God Bless.

Mucho"

So pretty much im doing just that,But Its moslty to late for some colonies ,Im am trying to save 3 colonies but its not looking to good.
Thx guys for any replys that is Helpful in anyway ,I dont think there is much to do,From what ive been reading ,just to frag off the good ones and work with what i have left ,only problem is that the white fugus is not on the outer zoos and mostly in on the innner zoos of the colony which makes it very hard to frag off ,
Im am trying the dry air method .,"leaving the mout for a bit in the air "out of water" for 30 mins ,its the last thing befoer it gos in the trash

 

[DEEPWATER]

Im going to try to find a marine bio,to see if they can just take a look and see what the hell is on them.Maybe one on the broad with some knowhow could help out ,if we can find the cause that would help ,not even asking for a solution yet

 

[DEEPWATER]

What are you water parameter Ronen? Sorry to hear about your losses buddy .

Everything is great in my tank,All other corals ,fish ,inverts are fine ,i even got coralline growing on my glass finally ,but now this zoo crap :irked: :banghead:

 

[noodleman]

take some pics of the fungus, it'll help the rest of us identify it if we ever get it

 

[fritz]

I've got some that I'll frag for you too. They'll have come full circle! I'm sure they'll be glad to see Sonny again too.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, at least it has served as a lesson to all the MR'ers. If we all read up on something like this each time it happens to one of us, hopefully we'll all be free of disasters like this.

[DEEPWATER]

[DEEPWATER]

these 2 colonies where sitting in aquarium water from my selling tanks "no problem with that water " and lugols for a day ,not getting any better .

 

[DEEPWATER]

Only good thing on this end ,Is that i have to other tanks that are well ,and happy ,I putting some zoo frag for myself to start over when i kick this white fugus in my tank ,If anyone have a frag of Safecrackes ,RPES ,that they could frag ,and hold for me,We can trade off for something.I going to do another 20gal water change in 2 days,im putting poly filters and carbon take out some carp from the water,but icant say if it will help ,but my fish and corals will like it!
thx for the help guys ,If you might have any other suggestion LMK.
