Zoa pox
 
Alright.

Found out I've got zoa pox like a mother in my tank. 3/4 of my frags have it and never noticed before cuz nothing was ever closed.

I was blowing sand and just cleaning off the plugs with the turkey baster and noticed it on one plug.... Then another and another. F****

Need some tips and pointers from those who've had to deal with it. So far I've freshwater dipped them last night and today for 5-8mins. I'm being told to scrape the spots off so tomorrow ill dip them again and try with a toothbrush to get them off.

Any help will be appreciated cuz it's killing be to see how many are infected :(

Don't throw anything out, take a small tank and set up a coral quarantine using a basic tank, almost any light and an job filter, I've heard a lot of people have luck with Furan 2 dips

Here's an article on it with some info

Furan2 work great, and it also worked for me to safe SPS colonies from RTN.

Read somewhere to use little wedges of magic eraser. A little easier on the zoa's. Just make sure you use the plain one with no soap or anything added.
