One of my zoa frags has what looks to be pox - closed a little dusty and a few whits pimple looking bumps. If i dip it in Furan-2 will it harm it if it isnt zoa pox and is not sick?

I'm dipped in furan2 recently. Two different zoas colony on the same rock. Only one was infected. The healthy colony is still doing great. But the furan2 didn't seem to do anything for the pox infected colony.

for the furan 2 did you use one packet for what volume of tank water (or FW?)

Mine was on a big rock so I needed 6 cups of water. I used 2 packet and dipped for 30mins.

Recommended is 1 pkt per cup and dip no more than 20mins I believe.

I was thinking of trying peroxide cuz Furan2 isn't working, for me.

I've done a peroxide dip followed by a quick lugols for zoas that aren't doing so hot... Usually helps bring them back
