Is this white fuzz something to worry about?

[ReefDreamz]

A few of my zoas are closed and have a white fuzz on them that flows in the current. Anyone seen anything like this before? I Googled Zoa pox and the pictures don't really look like this. Its like a fine white fuzz. Every coral in my tank was dipped in Revive.

Any images? (unable to view the video, sorry)

Videos finally loaded. Honestly I have no idea what that is but I have seen the same thing on a few of my zoas it never bothered them. They eat and they grow just like normal. I think it might be part of the zoa.

Could you please post an image under white light? It would help a lot and would confirm what I think it might be

Do you if the ones in the center of that photo are zoas or palys. Because palys Will pick up sand and store it in their body. Almost looks like little stars and can be confused with zoa pox and that kind of looks like sand in a paly

Its not sand. Its flowing in the current. Looks like tiny feather dusters. I posted a video with white light. If you watch that you'll see its not sand. They are butt muncher zoas.

It loaded finally. It's exactly what I've seen on some of my zoas and it doesn't seem to bother them at all so I'd say you have nothing to worry about unless they're not opening at all or feeding.

Do they open at all? If not, how long ago did they stop opening and what are your water parameters?

They were open yesterday not today when I got home from work but then they did open for a little but then closed again.

pH 8.14
Alk 8.11
Ca 411-425 (trident vs salifert)
Mg 1400
Salinity 34.3
NO3 13.3
PO4 0.17
Temp 78.3-77.2

Everything looks good. Sometimes they don't really open or they open a few times a day when you aren't looking. As long as they're not shrinking, they're fine

I tagged you in another post where some people had the same stuff on their zoas
