White spots on my zoos

[Geofrog]

I have some white spots on my zoos and they are starting to lose their colour. Sorry no pic of it yet, camera just got back for the repair shop. It looks like a white dust covering the zoos. Any ideas what it might be and how do I treat it?

Is it kind of fuzzy? looks a bit like white mold? a FW dip in lugols and some bastering (outside of the tank) should help out if that is the case. Do these spots move? could be a preditory Nudi or something too

Here's a link to Zoanthid Predators, Irritaters, & Diseases to help ID what your problem is.

BTW, I found this link in Canreef's Reference Library.

Thanks for the link. It looks like it is a fungus. Now I have to figure out how to get rid of it. I will try a FW dip.

Check out the Zoanthid forum on RC for instructions on how to dip to get rid of fungus.
